Use cases

Concessions, airports, stations: the canopy as infrastructure

Concession holders manage huge areas over contract-bound periods. They need assets that last, evolve and sometimes move.

Sites with different needs

  • Service areas: cars and HGVs, high-power charging, 24/7 operations.
  • Airports: very large car parks, safety and height constraints.
  • Stations and interchanges: urban integration, architectural quality, pedestrian flows.

Matching the asset to the contract term

A conventional carport pays back over 20 to 30 years, often longer than the remaining concession. A structure designed to be dismantled, moved and redeployed changes the equation: it can create value over the contract term, then be reinstalled elsewhere. What if your land created value over 5 years instead of 25?

From car park to energy hub

Solar generation, fast charging, storage, lighting and sensors can share one structure. The concession becomes a network of energy hubs rather than a string of isolated projects.

At SUUN

The SUUN superstructure is pre-assembled, transported folded, unfolded and locked on site. The principle, designed for fast installation, also makes dismantling possible. Solutions for concessions.

Frequently asked questions

Can a canopy really be moved?

The SUUN structure is designed to be deployed and folded; foundations remain site-specific. Dismantling conditions are defined at design stage.

What uses on a motorway service area?

Car and HGV parking, high-power charging, shade and lighting, with a structure that keeps traffic lanes clear.
