Sacramento International Airport Transformation
Appearing on the cover of the January 11, 2011 issue of Engineering News-Record as one of the Images of the Year 2010, the Airside Concourse roof of Central Terminal B is clad in Contrarian Metal Resources’ InvariMatte® stainless steel. The roof was fabricated by BEMO USA. “Once the architects determined that stainless was the way to go, the collaboration between Corgan, Contrarian, Kodiak Roofing, Turner Construction and us led to the success and handsome appearance of the roofing system,” said Bob Strang, Regional Manager, BEMO USA. “We used 176,000 sq. ft. of InvariMatte®,” he added.

While we are pleased to gain the reader’s input in terms of feedback as well as suggested subject matter, we envision this column will share insight into specification guidance, energy efficiency, finishing methods, cleaning procedures, and other aspects of stainless steel building applications.
