From Coast to Coast: Flannery Trim Reaches Goose Bay Airport Expansion

For Immediate Release

December 5, 2011

Earlier this year, Flannery Trim, a U.S. manufacturer of specialty drywall and stucco trims, was selected to supply materials for the Goose Bay Airport expansion. The expansion is part of a $31 million project investment by the government of Canada and the provincial governments of Labrador and Newfoundland.

“The Goose Bay Airport expansion project was Flannery’s furthest overland shipment ever made with a total travel distance of 7,400 km (4,600 miles),” says Gary Jayne, Sales Manager for Flannery Inc.

Flannery worked closely with the general contractor to provide a number of aluminum trims for both Gypsum Wallboard Assemblies and Special Wall Panels utilized throughout the airport terminal. The company provided several thousand lineal meters of Drywall Reveal (DWR 50-75) and Drywall F-Molds (DWRF 50-75) for the gypsum wallboard assemblies as well as 350 pre-fabricated intersections.

For the special wall panels that were found along the lower part of each terminal wall, Flannery provided Channel Screeds (PCS 50-75) and F-Molds (FPM 50-75) as well as an additional 320 pre-fabricated intersections. Flannery developed custom intersections that allowed for a clean transition between the reveals along the gypsum walls and the reveals along the special wall panels.

When it first opened in 1941, this airport’s primary function was to serve as a military runway during World War II. Since then Goose Bay Airport has progressed to become one of the largest commercial airports in Eastern Canada with over 95,000 passengers passing through it each year.

The quality of Flannery Trim products, and their contribution to LEED points, have led to their increasing popularity in the Canadian marketplace. Goose Bay Airport marks the second major Canadian project Flannery worked on in 2011. The earlier project was Eighth Avenue Place, Canada’s first LEED Platinum high rise office building.

Flannery Trims are available through Canadian distributors such as Pacific West Systems Supply in Western Canada and other material houses throughout North America.
