E v e n t s a r e s u b j e c t t o c h a n g e , c h e c k w e b s i t e s f o r u p d a t e s Airport Project Could Generate $2.5B in Economic Activity
AIRPORT from page 72 have three levels and be about 1,300 ft. long.
The renovations will accommodate multiple means for passengers traveling to the airport. A five-story multi-modal complex will be constructed that will encompass a 3,300-parking space garage, a rental car facility and surface parking lots.
Airport planners will be seeking at least a LEED Silver Certification for the terminal and other buildings. That means taking “green building” to another level. Environmentally friendly actions will include: • Parksmart certification for the garage, which reduces energy and will encourage biking, carpooling and alternative fuel vehicles; • Source construction materials locally including 16,000 tons of steel, more than 354,000 sq. ft. of wood and 94,000 tons of concrete; • Approximately 75 percent of all construction waste generated will be recycled or reused rather than being sent to local landfills. Much of this will be concrete used for the new roads; • Use of highly efficient heating and cooling systems for the terminal building; • Sustainable landscape to conserve water and energy and decrease runoff; and • Use of native plants to minimize the need for extensive watering and maintenance. Also, the collection of rainwater to supplement water needs.
During the construction process, workers will be using two Manitowoc MLC 300 VPC cranes. These behemoths weigh about 380 tons and will extend 290 ft. above the construction site.
Construction activities were put on hold during the pandemic and economic downturn.
The airport terminal construction will make it easier for passengers and also enhance their experience with the addition of concessions, artwork and amenities. The new structure will have green plazas, gathering spaces and an abundance of natural light.
In addition to the improved experience for passengers, the massive project will have a positive impact on construction in the region.
“This means more jobs and growth for western Pennsylvania,” said Hoback.
The airport modernization program is expected to generate about $2.5 billion in economic activity and more than 14,000 total direct and indirect jobs over the next three years. CEG (All photos courtesy of Blue Sky News/Pittsburgh International Airport).
