Metro Rail & Bus Canopy at the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC)
The Miami Intermodal Center is a multi-transit hub serving the Miami Dade International Airport. The transportation project features Zahner manufactured and installed structural forms (ZEPPS) made in aluminum, glass, and stainless steel.
Designed by architects Perez & Perez, the construction team brought Zahner into the project to engineer, fabricate, and install the transit station’s exterior canopy. Zahner worked under Odebrecht of Brazil to produce this extensive project, completed in July 2012. The scope for Zahner includes the metal and glass for the metro rail canopy as well as the adjacent bus canopy.
The most visible aspect of the project is the unique curving train canopy whose window slits glazed-in throughout the whole. The multi-million dollar contract required much of the Zahner fabrication facility for nearly a full year of manufacturing the hundreds of massive ZEPPS assemblies for nearly a year.
