This initiative supports BEA’s commitment to improving facility safety, accessibility, and weather protection for personnel and visitors.

• Design and fabrication of entrance canopy structures at Buildings 682 and 688.


• Installation of canopies at designated building entrances.


• Integration with existing architectural and structural elements.


• Compliance with applicable safety, building, and environmental standards.


• Documentation and verification of installation for quality assurance.
