Airports
Structural engineering for airports: terminal buildings, hangars, freight sheds, apron structures and extensions during operation.
Long spans, high occupancy and an operation that does not stop.
What we take on
- Terminal extensions, gates and link structures
- Hangars and freight sheds with column-free spans
- Technical and services buildings on the apron
- Alteration and strengthening during operation
What governs the design
Long-span roof structures, deflection and vibration limits that come from the use, fire safety with long escape distances, and loads from baggage handling and security equipment that get fixed late.
Working in an operating airport
Building on an airport means access-controlled areas, night windows, security requirements and agreement with the operator for every construction phase. That is an organisational matter rather than a structural one – it belongs in the design all the same.
