Macalloy tie rods support the lightweight roof structure at Niagra Falls International airport in USA. The roof is supported by a series of painted Macalloy tension bars tied back to central columns allowing for a lightweight, large span roof. The roof is also designed to reflect the flow of the Niagra Falls rapids.
