Pudong Airport, Shanghai, China
It is with great pleasure that Brintons announces that it has completed the installation for Shanghai Pudong International Airport - well in advance of the new terminal’s scheduled grand-opening in March 2008. The carpet has been installed in International Departure Terminal Two and the project is considered to be China's largest-ever Axminster carpet installation.
The international installation team faced many challenges in installing carpet in such a large area. However, the co-operation between Brintons, its appointed installation company Carpet Hub, and the Pudong Airport authorities ensured that this pioneering project was a total success. In conjunction with Carpet Hub, this unique project required many innovative solutions.
Robert Newell, Brintons Installation Manager, who flew in regularly from the UK to provide on-site guidance, was particularly pleased with Carpet Hub's management of the installation.
Mr. Newell, who has over 30 years' experience in the carpet business, praised the work of the installation team "To install a carpet end-to-end without complications in a building that is 1.4km long is a significant achievement - a real testimony to our belief that when it comes to technically challenging installations, Brintons is second to none".

For Brintons, this continues a tradition of important infrastructure projects where quality and durability cannot be compromised, and the client demands the design expertise for which Brintons is famous.
Pudong Airport's new Terminal Two is the second terminal in Asia, along with Singapore's Changi Airport T3, that opened with Brintons earlier this year.
