Successful VMU & PMU Testing for Long Thanh International Airport

After meticulous preparation, from design solutions and production planning to execution, the first façade and skylight components of the Long Thanh International Airport project have successfully passed VMU & PMU testing. These elements are now ready for mass production and on-site installation.
As one of the world’s 16 most anticipated airports, Long Thanh International Airport serves as a strategic gateway for trade and symbolizes Vietnam’s ambition to establish itself on the global aviation map. As the façade contractor, BM Windows takes pride in shaping the architectural identity of this landmark through high-quality aluminum and glass façade systems.

Following thorough preparation, the initial components of the project have undergone VMU & PMU testing at the Institute for Building Science and Technology (IBST) for both the Skylight and Façade packages. The testing process was conducted under the direct supervision of the project investor ACV, the JC-JV consulting consortium, and the Vietur general contractor consortium.

This testing phase marks one of the most extensive and longest-running test sessions ever conducted at BM Windows, spanning a total of 15 consecutive days. Each component underwent three key examinations: Mechanical properties, Energy Performance, and Acoustic Transmission. Within these categories, 14 critical assessments were carried out, including Preliminary Loading, Air Infiltration Test, Lateral Displacement Test, Thermal Cycling, Structural Test at Serviceability Limit State, Thermal Transmittance Test, and Sound Transmission Test.

Step by step, this project is becoming a reality, marking a significant milestone for BM Windows and Vietnam’s façade industry on an international scale. Stay tuned for the latest updates on this groundbreaking architectural achievement!
