Sundt Construction’s Post

In the design-build environment, efficient and cost-effective apron design saves airports money that they can then put toward other terminal elements to further enhance the passenger experience.   Read more to learn about the role apron design plays in the operational efficacy of airports and how to keep costs down during the design and construction process below: 

Whether airports and their contractors buy or rent STARC during airport renovations, the passenger experience is so far superior compared to drywall or lesser quality wall systems.......Aviation is one of our fastest growing segments. View this case study to find out why:

🛫 Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) is gearing up for a major expansion with Concourse B adding 20 gates to alleviate congestion. 📈 Originally part of the ABIA 2040 Master Plan, the expansion aims to accommodate 30 million passengers annually by 2027, a decade ahead of schedule. 🕒 Opening of Concourse B was initially set for 2027 but could be delayed to 2030 or later due to uncertainties in design and construction. 💰 The city of Austin is moving forward with hiring a designer for the project, offering $72 million for the 635,000-square-foot facility. 💼 Concourse B is part of the $4 billion expansion project, Journey with AUS, which includes enhancements like a new arrivals and departures hall and revamped baggage claim areas. 🚧 The expansion involves demolishing an existing parking garage and constructing a new one behind the Blue Garage, with an estimated cost nearing $1 billion. ✈️ Phasing of the expansion will be based on airline demand, with a focus on close collaboration with airlines to meet immediate needs while preparing for future growth. 👀 ABIA faces logistical and financial challenges as it expands to meet current and future demands, navigating between existing congestion and future projections. #AustinAirport #Expansion #Travel #Infrastructure #AirportExpansion #AustinTX #AirTravel #FutureTravel #Aviation #AirportDevelopment #SoaringTraffic #ABIAExpansion #FlyAustin https://lnkd.in/gKzfirMA

New York City-inspired retail, dining options and amenities totaling nearly 9,300m2 are planned at Terminal 6 to create a New York sense of place. Selection of the future food and beverage, retail and duty-free concession brands is underway. “With each construction milestone and this one-year mark, we’re closer to welcoming passengers to an extraordinary new airport facility that will provide tremendous benefits to the local community, city and state that Terminal 6 will proudly serve,” said George Casey, chairman of JFK Millennium Partners and the chair and CEO of Vantage Airport Group, which leads Terminal 6 development Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eYijYn2t #Aviation #Airlines #Airports #Passengers #Transportation #Technology #NewYork #AviationIndustry #AirportDesign #Travel #Technology #PTExpoConf

Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport plans significant upgrades, enabling the airport to serve to serve 56 million passengers by 2040, compared to the current all-time record of 39.5 million passengers set in 2019. Highlights of the long-term plan include new gates that are part of a near-term need to expand Terminal 2 to the south and a long-term project to extend Concourse G in Terminal 1. There are mid- and long-term projects to reconstruct concourses E and F and to create a passenger connector between Terminals 1 and 2. 📰 More details on this story in the next issue of the Momberger Airport Information newsletter. ➡️ Sign up for a free two-month trial here: https://lnkd.in/g8SjE2pp  Please type "trial" in the user instructions window. #momberger #airports #airportdevelopment #airportoperations #infrastructure #airtransport #construction #globaleconomy #aviationindustry #msp Image credit: MSP Airport

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝘂𝘅𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝟭𝟯𝟱 - for passengers and crew! Only the highest quality materials and components are used on board of this environmentally friendly River Cruiser. Much can be said of this new luxury vessel - it’s design, propulsion, sustainable use of materials etc. - but its quality is also down to the smallest details. So, here’s a small example: guests are able to freshen up with shower heads featuring air additions, offering the experience of a rain shower with an absolute minimum of wastewater. Beyond the cabins, passengers enjoy access to a large, open front deck space with a range of outdoor seating options. Inside, lounge and restaurant areas feature air conditioning and heating systems drawing on heat recovered from the vessel itself. Note that the ecological approach we’ve taken with this cruiser not only ensures passenger comfort, it also guarantees a safe environment, preventing the spread of airborne disease. And the crew? Well, what about the large separated aft deck where crew members can unwind after their dinner in the adjacent, well-equipped messroom.

Today, I would like to discuss a rather delicate topic. The development of #cruise #terminals with #futuristic #designs has significantly transformed the #maritime #industry, enhancing the capacity and efficiency of #passenger #reception. Over the years, the numbers speak for themselves: the maximum capacity of passengers handled by these state-of-the-art terminals has increased by approximately 50% in the last decade, allowing ports to accommodate the growing demand for #cruise #travel. Modern cruise terminals are now capable of processing thousands of passengers swiftly and efficiently, thanks to advanced #engineering and #architectural #innovations. For instance, the new terminals boast automated check-in systems, expansive waiting areas, and streamlined security processes, which have reduced wait times by up to 30% and improved the overall #embarkation experience. However, amidst these advancements, the true challenge lies in maintaining and enhancing the #passenger #experience during the critical moments of #embarkation and #disembarkation. Ensuring that passengers transition from the terminal to their cabins with ease and in comfort is paramount. This includes managing baggage delivery efficiently so that passengers find their luggage already in their cabins upon arrival. Providing a seamless experience that respects the luxurious and relaxing nature of #cruise #vacations is essential for maintaining customer satisfaction and loyalty. Additionally, the design and construction of #piers and #terminals must keep pace with the increasing size of #cruise #ships. Modern vessels are larger and more complex than ever, requiring terminals to be equipped with the infrastructure to support these floating cities. This includes robust mooring systems, deep-water berths, and extensive #logistical support to handle the supply and maintenance needs of mega-ships, which have grown in size by over 20% in the past five years. Furthermore, it is crucial for these terminals to offer #logistical and #refueling services that align with new #green #regulations, ensuring #environmental #sustainability, especially in terminals located near inhabited areas. This includes adopting clean energy sources and efficient waste management systems, thereby reducing the environmental footprint of #cruise #operations by up to 40%. In conclusion, while the capacity and technological advancements of #cruise #terminals have made significant strides, the industry must continue to focus on enhancing the #passenger #experience and adapting infrastructure to accommodate larger vessels. Balancing these aspects with #environmental considerations will be crucial for the continued success and growth of the #cruise #industry. #MaritimeIndustry #CruiseTerminals #Engineering #Architecture #PassengerExperience #Logistics #Travel #CruiseShips #InfrastructureDevelopment #LuxuryTravel #EnvironmentalSustainability #CarnivalUK #GreenRegulations #CarnivalCorporation #CarnivalMaritime
