Very interesting to understand the logic behind the design of many of these very familiar airports in North America, with the goal of utility and satisfaction. https://lnkd.in/gkMesskP

Dominican Republic US$30 million injected to modernize Las Americas in the short term; another US$250 million in second phase During a press conference called on 15 July 2024, Aerodom/Vinci Airports’ director in chief, Monika Infante announced significant improvements ongoing at the Las Americas International Airport (SDQ-AILA). The airport is undergoing renovations calling for investment of over US$30 million in the short term. In addition to these immediate improvements to the existing terminal, work is underway on the design of a new AILA passenger terminal to accommodate the double-digit passenger traffic growth that the Dominican Republic is experiencing. Construction of the new terminal is scheduled to start in 2025 with an investment of US$250 million. The terminal will have capacity to serve four million passengers per year. The current renovations are happening in the Departures and Arrivals area of the main terminal, the renovation of roofs, facades, lighting, information and air-conditioning systems, and the expansion and remodeling of the vehicle parking lot. Monika Infante, head of Aerodom/Vinci Airports at Las Americas said that all construction and remodeling work at AILA is expected to be completed by December 2024, with the exception of the baggage handling system, which will be completed in June 2025.

The recent long lines at TSA checkpoints at Pittsburgh International Airport highlights two reasons for the $1.5 billion new terminal under construction: the growth of the airport over the last several years and the lagging infrastructure.

NEW AIRPORT ENTRYWAY: A contractor will spend nearly two years on a $8.7 million contract to build a new gateway into Miami International Airport with the main purpose of access to construction work during the airport’s multi-year, multi-billion-dollar capital improvement program. Two county committees this week are to consider awarding the contract to build the new gate to Allied Contractors Inc. The gate will be where McLaughlin Drive intersects with the commercial vehicle entrance into the airport from southbound LeJeune Road. The gate will also be used by all the vehicles and trucks to access the airport and perform regular daily activities, reducing the traffic and lanes of the other airside operating area gates. To build the new gate, two airport buildings will be demolished. https://lnkd.in/eFQyPzg3 #FYIMiami #MiamiTodayNews #MiamiAirport #IFlyMia #MiamiInternationalAirport

If you’ve been to LGA you’ve seen the transformation of that airport over the last few years. JFK is getting the same treatment as part of a massive redevelopment program. Yes, the traffic due to construction has been tough, but having been “behind the scenes” at LaGuardia with my NYC Bar Association Aviation and Space Law Committee friends and colleagues, I’m excited for what JFK will look (and function) like when the work is completed. #aviation #airports #aviationlaw #constructionlaw #transportationlaw

Being something of a construction / civil engineering geek I love this videos and seeing what goes into some of these major projects.

An Example of reconstructing a runway without shutting down/effecting the runway/airport operation In this situation the method used is (((( Off-Peak construction ))) Where the Aerodrome authority can issue a NOTAM or Publish an AIP SUP to notify the airlines of the closure time of construction As per ICAO Doc 9157 Aerodrome Design Manual Part 3 — Pavements Third Edition, 2022 Appendix 6: PAVEMENT OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE RELATED GUIDANCE 4. CONSTRUCTION OF ASPHALT OVERLAYS DURING OPERATIONS CLOSURES 4.1 Introduction The volume and frequency of operations at many airports makes it virtually mandatory to repair movement areas portion by portion during short periods of traffic operation closure. The purpose of this chapter is to provide guidance for the procedures to be used by those associated with such short term repairs, namely, the airport manager, project manager, designer, inspector, material testing technicians and contractors, to ensure that the work is carried out safely and most efficiently without loss of revenues, inconvenience to passengers or delays to the air traffic systems 4.2 Airport authority's role - Off Peak Construction - - 4.3 Design considerations - - 🥸

The recent approval by the Federal Government for the construction of a third runway at #MelbourneAirport marks a significant milestone in addressing the growing demand for air travel in #Australia. With forecasts predicting a substantial increase in passenger numbers, the expansion aims to enhance the airport’s capacity and improve overall efficiency. The decision comes after years of planning and consultations, highlighting the importance of balancing economic growth with environmental considerations. The new runway is expected to create thousands of jobs during construction and in ongoing airport operations, bolstering local economies and providing a much-needed boost to the post-COVID recovery of the aviation sector. However, this development is not without its challenges. Concerns have been raised regarding environmental impacts, particularly in relation to noise pollution and habitat disruption. Stakeholder engagement has been a critical component throughout the approval process, ensuring that community voices are heard and addressed. The airport has committed to implementing measures to mitigate environmental impacts, such as noise abatement strategies and improved public transport access. #JohnstonPMC #JohnstonProjectManagementConsulting #MelbourneThirdRunway #MelbourneAirportRail #StakeholderEngagement #Rail #Infrastructure
