Architectural specifications for the ceilingdesigns in Pier A of Auckland Airport dictated that they would need to be custom built, which could have posed potential problems.

However, charged with this responsibility, USG Australasia adapted its USG Drywall Grid System to suit. The flexibility of the system helped transfer the architects' vision of curved and stepped ceiling effects into a reality. Components needed were produced locally, which made for fast lead times.
