Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, TX

TEXRail is a 27-mile commuter rail line running from downtown Fort Worth to Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport’s Terminal B. The station at DFW includes a series of saddle shaped tensile PTFE membrane canopies covering the train tracks and adjacent boarding platforms. PTFE was selected for its high shading coefficient, self-cleaning properties, and durability. The canopies are cable reinforced and framed by arched AESS.
