Give Steel has delivered the steel structures for Kalaallit Airport’s new airport in Ilulissat, the third-largest town on Greenland’s west coast.

The project covers a total of 8,300 square metres, distributed across three buildings: a terminal, a service building, and an air traffic control tower, with Give Steel involved early in the process.

The air traffic control tower is somewhat unique, constructed as a pentagonal tower mounted on a square building.

To ensure precise construction and assembly in Greenland, Give Steel carried out a trial assembly and connection of the tower at their factory in Brande to confirm the two parts fit together. Following this, everything was disassembled, finished with paint, and shipped by sea to Greenland.

The two large buildings—the terminal and the service building—are constructed with frames of the same dimensions and slope. The entire construction is scheduled for completion in 2024.
