Syska Hennessy Group is involved in the design and construction
of two new Automated People Mover (APM) stations at Dulles
International Airport in Dulles, VA, a project with the projected
construction cost of nearly 1 billion dollars. The APM stations
are designed to accommodate the continually increasing passenger
growth at the airport for the full build out of the airport
with 2 "Main terminals
and 4 Tier terminals to replace the original mobile lounge
system.
The Washington Metropolitan Airports Authoritycommissioned
five independent design teams under separate procurements,
with independent completion schedules, for the East and West
APM stations. Syska collaborated closely with each of the design
teams providing separate components of the APM stations. The challenge
was to identify commonality between station designs and to
create a consistent integration of control and ventilation design
packages. Our team had to understand the entire train system as
articulated by the various design teams to ensure that the fire
alarm, smoke alarm and evacuation systems would function as an
integral part of the complete transportation system.
Functioning in a holistic manner to bridge the variety of design
team specialists provided Syska with an opportunity to identify
and implement a number of energy saving strategies including
demand ventilation control, high temperature hot water and high
delta T chiller water system, daylighting controls and computational
fluid dynamics analysis.
