Adelaide Airport | Stoddart Infrastructure Project

Project Completion: 2018

October 6, 2020

Stoddart Infrastructure were commissioned by Adelaide Airport to design, fabricate, and install several walkways as part of the 2019 centenary celebrations of the first flight from England to Australia in 1919. A two-stage project, the first of which has been completed and consists of two cantilevered walkways, facilitates patron transfer between the long term car park and terminal building via the Vimy Vickers Memorial – the focus of the celebrations.

The custom walkways are based on the Stoddart Infrastructure Decco walkway; characterized by its large-span, curved cantilever roof design, and modular bolt-together assembly methodology. For this application the frame was altered to give a more individual aesthetic to the structure and full-length guttering included, as well as the integration of custom perforated picture mesh panels with travel-themed motifs between the posts, providing fantastic visual interest to the canopies. Additionally, patron-focused LED courtesy lighting was added for patron comfort.

Constructed out of mild steel, and then hot-dip galvanised and powder coated, these walkways have been fully designed and engineered to suit their location. Stoddart also completed the civil and electrical design as part of the scope of works, and project managed every stage of the job including civil works, shelter installation, and project handover.

These walkways will deftly assist in the commemoration of one of Australia’s iconic aviation achievements, and Stoddart are proud to be a part of not only these celebrations, but our continued reputation and involvement in providing high quality, highly functional, but also highly aesthetic transport infrastructure at all of Australia’s major airports.
