Airport Planning 

No credit for the Image used 

Basic difficulties that airplane terminals need to face request the advancement of particular arranging and outline systems that move from building foundations in light of unforeseen needs, to a convenient and adaptable arranging of restoring and of new improvements.

Expertise includes the following:
  1. Feasibility studies 
  2. Airport master planning 
  3. Landside/airside layout planning 
  4. Land-use planning 
  5. Airport cities planning 
  6. Multi-modal transport planning
  7. Environmental impact studies 
  8. Parking facilities planning 
  9. Passenger terminal planning and design

Airside and landside facility planning and design

Arranging and configuration administrations for new airside and landside zones, improvement and requalification.

Airside facilities include :-

  1. Runways, aprons and taxiways 
  2. Aircraft parking layouts 
  3. Airline operational facilities 
  4. Fuel storage and distribution systems
  5. Aircraft maintenance centers 
Landside facilities include:
  1. Accessibility and roadway systems 
  2. Development of curb sides 
  3. Bridges and access structures 
  4. Automated people mover systems

Passenger terminal building design

Passenger terminals represent the heart of the input-output process of people, luggage arrival and departure as well as of retail services and logistic supplies.Air terminal ventures produce requesting utilitarian necessities that request an able multidisciplinary approach and incorporated plan arrangements so as to address needs and difficulties.


Services that One Works offers for passenger terminal design include:
  1. Terminal-area master planning 
  2. Facilities requirement 
  3. Modeling and functional analysis simulation 
  4. Feasibility studies and terminal design-criteria definition 
  5. Baggage-handling systems (BHS) 
  6. Building architecture and engineering
  7. Arrivals facilities and customs service’s facilities 
  8. Cost consultancy 
  9. Construction supervision 
  10. Maintenance programmer management

Major Terminal Design Considerations

  1. Passenger Terminal Configuration
  2. Passenger Terminal Concepts
  3. Major Design Considerations

Terminal Configuration

  • Centralized processing building connected by people mover system to satellites

  • Centralized passenger processing terminal building with finger piers. 

Passenger Terminal Concepts 

Basic planning criteria in Development of Passenger Terminals -
  1. Easy Orientation
  2. Simplicity
  3. Minimize walking distance
  4. Minimize level changes
  5. Minimize pax cross flows
  6. Compatibility of facilities with aircraft  characteristics 
  7. Traffic peaking characteristics
  8. Transfer volume and connecting times
Five common Terminal Concepts -
  1. Pier/Finger
  2. Linear
  3. Transporter
  4. Satellite
  5. Compact Module Unit Terminal

Pier/Finger

Linear

Transporter


Satellite

Compact Module Unit Terminal


Following factors contribute towards a good terminal building design -
  1. Passenger Flow
  2. Walking Distance
  3. Level of service for passengers 
  4. Performance standards 
  5. Traffic peaking characteristics 
  6. Future growth 
  7. Sophisticated and costly airport systems
  8. Ease of way finding 
  9. Processing times 
  10. Retail
