Cast Connex will be displaying its cast-steel components that simplify design, enhance performance and elevate the architectural expression of structural steel. The company’s standardized and custom castings are ideal for airport terminals, where exposed steel structures must meet demanding aesthetic and structural requirements.

Architecturally exposed structural steel (AESS) is increasingly used in airport design to create open, visually striking spaces. Castings provide unmatched geometric freedom, allowing seamless transitions, smooth surfaces and complex node configurations that are difficult to achieve with fabricated steel. They also improve constructability, reduce welding and ensure consistent quality – essential in high-traffic, safety-sensitive environments.

Cast Connex components have been used in major airport projects worldwide. At Charlotte Douglas International Airport, for example, custom-cast column base nodes enhance detailing and load transfer, and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport used castings in its trussed roof structure to eliminate field welding and speed installation. At Baltimore/Washington International Airport, cast nodes replaced complex fabricated joints, while L.F. Wade International Airport in Bermuda used precision-engineered castings to streamline connections and enhance its open-plan design.
