New materials and advanced technological systems were developed along with unusual construction processes to meet the design goals. The final outcome presents advanced long span, lightweight steel structures, exposed pre-cast concrete frames, clear or low-E coated glass, a triple-layered translucent membrane, an integrated cooling system that makes use of both the thermal mass of concrete and water as a low energy carrier, and a displacement ventilation system with minimal air-changes. These components and parts are more effective in their overall operative framework than in their conventional roles. They maximize daylight and comfort, yet minimize the use of energy with significant cost savings in terms of life cycle. The installed cooling power has been cut down to almost 50% the power of a conventional system.

Permasteelisa Group undertaken the external package of the concourses with over 110,000 sqm (1.2 million sq ft) of stick system curtain wall for the typical bays and the continuous metal canopies (3 m x 6,000 m) for a total of 36,000 sqm (387,500 sq ft) of solid sheet roof and soffit cladding panels on structural steel cantilevered frames. The 51 passenger boarding bridges feature jumbo sized laminated glass panels and aluminum composite cladding panels, interiors consist of stainless steel trims and handrail cable systems and triple ply laminated glass flooring. The internal package consisted of glass balustrades, partitions and handrails, steel cladding and glass point fixed lift shafts for an overall area of approx. 200,000 sqm (2.1 milliono sq ft).
