To meet future demand, Copenhagen Airport has commenced an expansion of Terminal 3, surpassing previous expansions and consolidating it as one of the best airports in the world, with everything kept under one roof.

Give Steel holds the steel contract for this spectacular construction, which consists of an entirely new building alongside the renovation of the existing terminal buildings.

The new terminal building weaves between Airport Fingers B and C.

Terminal 3 will become the heart of the airport, housing retail areas, lounges, offices, circulation spaces, baggage handling and retrieval, technical areas, basements for storage, and more.

The focal point of the terminal is an open space featuring a large garden, a starry sky ceiling, and an impressive view of the runways through a window stretch approximately 180 metres long. A suspended, column-free floor divides the space into two levels, continuing the seamless integration with the existing buildings.

Large transverse grids, up to 3.6 metres in height and about 15 metres in length, form an entire technical floor. These grids will support both the suspended second-floor deck and the overlying level with lounges and offices, as well as the roof structure. Remarkably, these heavy grids—each weighing up to 17 tonnes—will be welded and assembled on site. Renovation of the existing terminal buildings is due to commence in autumn 2023 and continue until 2027.

The renovation involves reinforcing the existing roof grids over Terminal 3 with additional steel and raising the current floor by one metre to the new floor level using built-in reinforcement beams.
