113-Meter-Long Traveling Glass Facade Planned for Billund Airport

Sept. 4, 2019
The long-standing door manufacturer secures a further large-scale hangar project of spectacular dimensions.

The new hangar being built by a major Danish textile company for Denmark’s second-largest airport, in Billund, is set to receive an exceptional look.

The construction will measure 113 meters in length and 15 meters in height, and will simultaneously serve as a hangar door and facade.

“This is a special project for us because all-glass doors of this scale are unique,” says Thilo Butzbach, managing director of Butzbach GmbH.

With its many years of experience in planning, designing and building large and complex door systems around the world, the Kellmünz-based company was able to distinguish itself from the other companies competing for the contract. The undertaking is currently in the detail- and project-planning phases, with production to follow. Butzbach is poised to assemble this complex door system on site in just 11 weeks, and the project is expected to be completed in Feb. 2020.
