AMERICAN AIRLINES EARLY BAGGAGE FACILITY

Owner

Parsons Odebrecht Joint Venture

Project Size

4,270 LF

Architect

Heery International

Completion

In Progress

OVERVIEW

This project involved the construction of a new 48,000 SF, one-story tilt-up warehouse to store luggage in transit for American Airlines at MIA. The facility’s new normal and emergency power; stormwater drainage; sanitary and domestic water drainage and supply; mechanical systems; and conveyor system were coordinated and tied into the new North Terminal with little or no interruption in service. Traffic control was top priority as the project was located airside in the active terminal. Interaction between contractor activities and airport staff/end users was avoided through careful planning and scheduling. The drainage system infrastructure was substantial because the facility is washed down periodically to remove dust accumulating from airport activity, and foundation slabs had to be sloped. Auxiliary storage, circulation spaces, and a substantial system of aluminum louvers were implemented.
