Infasron Textron Fasteners Support Hong Kong Airport Expansion
A World-Class Landmark, Powered by Chinese Fastening Expertise
Looking back at the Hong Kong International Airport Three-Runway System and Terminal Expansion Project, a world-class mega-project, the development represents a major infrastructure milestone for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and a key international aviation hub connecting Hong Kong with destinations worldwide. With a total investment of more than HKD 150 billion, the Three-Runway System and Terminal 2 expansion are designed to strengthen global connectivity and support the continued development of the Greater Bay Area.
The project was subject to stringent international requirements for engineering quality and safety. As essential components of the airport’s infrastructure, fasteners play a critical role in the long-term stability and reliable operation of key facilities, including terminal buildings and runways. This made the project’s supplier selection and quality standards particularly demanding.
Drawing on years of experience in high-end infrastructure and intelligent manufacturing, Infasron distinguished itself among competing suppliers and was selected as a key fastener supplier for the project. The company developed and delivered hundreds of sets of specialized fastening solutions tailored to the terminal’s steel structures, curtain walls, automated people mover system, and supporting equipment—helping reinforce the project’s commitment to structural reliability and operational safety.
Quality-Driven Innovation and Tailored Solutions for World-Class Projects
As highlighted in this case study, we are showcasing Infasron’s involvement in the expansion of Hong Kong International Airport’s Three-Runway System and passenger terminal facilities. The project involved a wide range of fasteners with diverse specifications and application requirements, including Infasron galvanized screws, coated screws, stainless steel screws, and composite alloy self-drilling screws, with a total usage of 5.5 million screws.
Infasron’s successful participation in this major international aviation infrastructure project was made possible by strict quality control, application-specific engineering innovation, and precise customization by Infasron IFS · Textron.
Engineered to Withstand Harsh Coastal Conditions
Located on the coast, Hong Kong is exposed to high salt spray levels, high humidity, and strong winds throughout the year. These marine environmental conditions place demanding requirements on fastener corrosion resistance, structural strength, and application suitability.
To address these challenges, Infasron IFS developed customized corrosion-resistant fasteners using the Skjard coating process. The coating system has passed 2,000 hours of salt spray testing and 25 acid rain cycles. In addition to meeting stringent national testing standards, the technology complies with Australian corrosion protection requirements.
Under standard marine atmospheric conditions, the fasteners are designed to provide corrosion protection for a service life of nearly 70 years, significantly exceeding conventional industry standards. This approach helps reduce the risk of fastener corrosion and loosening at the source, supporting the airport’s long-term operational safety, stability, and efficiency.
Precisely Tailored to Diverse Installation Requirements
Different applications within Hong Kong International Airport’s passenger terminal—including steel structure connections, curtain wall fixings, and equipment installation—require fasteners with specific performance and installation characteristics. Infasron IFS addresses these varying requirements through flexible, customized manufacturing.
Working closely with actual project details and installation conditions, the Infasron IFS R team optimized product designs to suit complex connection points and installation configurations across the project. This application-specific approach helps ensure that each fastener meets on-site construction requirements, supporting secure connections and reliable performance while demonstrating Infasron IFS’s capabilities in custom engineering and technical adaptation.
End-to-End Support Throughout the Project Lifecycle
From initial product development, drawing optimization, and sample testing to mass production, delivery, and on-site technical guidance, Infasron IFS assembled a dedicated service team to coordinate every stage of the project.
The team optimized production workflows and maintained rigorous quality control to minimize dimensional variation across high-volume production batches. This helped support consistent product quality and keep construction activities on schedule. Through responsive coordination and comprehensive technical support throughout the project lifecycle, Infasron IFS earned strong recognition from the project stakeholders.
“Every small fastener carries a significant responsibility. Through precision engineering and uncompromising quality, we are proud to support the development of global aviation hubs and demonstrate the strength and technical capabilities of Chinese fastener manufacturers.”
