Nagpur Airport, India Multi – Modal International Hub Client

Project description Masterplan and Terminal Design Competition Llewelyn Davies Yeang in association with Synergy, India and Kuala Lumpur International airport (KLIA) submitted a competition entry for a revised masterplan proposal and proposed new Terminal building at Nagpur Airport, India. Phase 1 was scheduled to handle 9 million passengers per annum (ppa) with incremental modular expansion to handle 40 million passengers per annum (ppa). The terminal envelope was devised from a close study of the climate including the orientation, the sun path, the wind direction and the ambient temperature. The design is essentially a bio-climatic response with no overt cultural symbols. Green features include eco-cells, retention ponds and rainwater harvesting for irrigation purposes. The building is designed as a power station – PV arrays and solar thermal collection integrated into the roof design will generate 30% of the energy required by the terminal.

Norman Manley International Airport Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies Client Completion Value

Project description New Terminal design presents us with the opportunity to explore innovative architectural forms to create breathtaking landmarks. Yet with this freedom comes the responsibility of ensuring that the building will function efficiently, not only in the immediate future but also as operational requirements changes. At Norman Manley International Airport clear transparent and feasible planning, a complete mastery of technical requirements and an integrated engineering services strategy will ensure the development of the airport remains robust for many years to come - A unique style which fused together traditional Jamaican Cultural Values and the best of modern technological advances. Introduction In November 2003, the joint venture of Llewelyn Davies (now Llewelyn Davies Yeang) and Sypher: Mueller International Inc of Ottawa, Canada (now part of Jacobs Consultancy) were contracted by the Airports Authority of Jamaica (AAJ) to develop a Master Plan for the Norman Manley International Airport (NMIA) Kingston, Jamaica. Llewelyn Davies Yeang’s role comprised formulation of the brief, site analysis, and master planning and was responsible for the overall concept and space planning, as well as the detailed architectural, interior design, landscape design and supervision of construction on site. Jacobs Consultancy’s role was project and contract administrators. The Master Plan will guide NMIA growth to 2022 and also provide a comprehensive land use plan throughout the planning period. The master plan provided many alternatives for future development but specifically focused on the requirement to expand the terminal building to meet forecast passenger demand. Throughout the Master plan process, the financial viability of the airport was closely monitored and all the preferred airport development options were developed and phased to ensure that they were affordable within the existing financial framework of the AAJ. Technology Transfer Experience The Llewelyn Davies Yeang led design team were contracted at the outset by the AAJ to engage local consultants and to provide them and members of the AAJ management team with the maximum technology transfer experience to provide hands-on planning, design and construction management experience within the structured training programme involving visits to the offices of LDY in London and Jacobs in Ottawa. This gave them an insight into how projects were procured and delivered and would hopefully provide invaluable experience to them on other future projects on the island. Airport History NMIA is located in the south part of the parish of St. Andrew, Kingston. NMIA was initially known as Palisadoes Airport. The airfield was originally developed in 1942 as a Royal Naval Air Station, known as HMS Buzzard, and for part of the war years was home to the 816 Squadron equipped with the legendary Fairey Swordfish Torpedo Bombers, which were used for anti-submarine patrols in the Caribbean. After the War, the RNAS was closed and the airfield transferred to the Jamaican Government for civilian use.

Existing Land Use NMIA occupies a site area of 230.64 hectares located approximately midway along the Palisadoes Peninsular and 18 kilometres from the centre of the city of Kingston. The site consists of a jumble of disparate buildings scattered across the site on an inefficient and chaotic manner. The ‘bolt on’ approach to the development of the airport over the years created a place that is confusing to users and inhibits the potential of the site to accommodate expansion and development. The Master Plan Development Alternative facility development options were developed to accommodate forecast passenger aircraft movements and related support service facilities to 2022 and following a series of workshops, a preferred Master Plan Development was selected. Management design objectives and criteria were subsequently developed to guide both the development of the Master Plan and more specifically the development of the Airport Terminal. Passenger Terminal Development The main criteria of the Development of the Passenger Terminal were: • Ability to meet future passenger and aircraft gate demand to 2012 and 2022,

at an IATA LOS “C”, • Operationally efficient. Each alternative should minimise airline/airport

operational constraints/congestions and to minimise landside and access road congestion;

• Maximise revenues. To ensure that each alternative accommodates the 2022 concessions program, and provides for flexibility in the concessions configurations;

• Terminal expandability and flexibility. The terminal layouts should provide for ease of future expandability and flexibility for growth in a cost efficient way, and to minimise disruption of the operation of the NMIA. Expandability should be considered for aircraft gates and for passenger access;

• Phasing and construction of the initial development. Ease with each option can be implemented, minimising disruption to the current operation of the NMIA;

• Construction costs of each option, including initial costs and phasing costs; • Constructability of the terminal, as this will affect cost construction duration

and the operation of the existing airport; and • Environmental compatibility. Seven options were developed each of which met the 2022 forecast parking and passenger demand and the 2022 minimum aircraft gate requirements of 16 aircraft gates and 3 aircraft stands. All of the options proposed that the existing cargo facility and business aviation centre were relocated away from the Terminal building. Each option was evaluated independently by the AAJ management team by assigning a numerical value for each of the Terminal criteria and the highest rated option given the highest value.

The evaluation concluded that the option which provided the optimum basis for the long term development of the terminal complex was selected with the following attributes over all other options: - • One integrated Terminal Complex • The Development can be efficiently phased with minimal disruption to existing

operations. • Terminal gates are maximised • Flexibility to accommodate future demand beyond 2022 • Low risk solution • Least Cost option Further refinement of the phasing for the preferred option was developed based on the following criteria: - To ensure that the project was affordable • To ensure that the airport remained fully operational during the construction of

the project and • To ensure that the first phase was complete initially for the Cricket World Cup

in 2007 but more realistically for the homecoming of the Olympians in 2008. • To ensure that the above criteria were met, the Terminal project was broken

down into 3 main phases (Phase 1A, 1B, and 2). Phase 1A – the primary component of Phase 1A consists of the expansion and rehabilitation of the existing terminal building, which includes: • New Departures Concourse – 30 ticket counters, passenger security, passenger

holdroom, departures area concessions, outbound baggage area, and airline offices;

• New Arrivals Area – new customs primary and secondary areas and covered passenger arrivals lobby

• Rehabilitation of Existing West Pier – provision for a 2 level passenger pier to separate arriving from departing passengers and 7 passenger boarding bridges;

• Rehabilitation of Existing Terminal – provision for upgrades to the existing immigration, baggage hall, ticketing concourse, air traffic control tower and existing waving gallery.

It is also proposed that 3/4 remote aircraft stands be constructed west of the existing passenger pier. Phase 1B • Creation of a stub pier which will accommodate four new passenger gates; • Arrivals corridor from new stub pier to arrivals area; • Relocation of the existing cargo facility, and new aircraft apron area; • New Cargo Taxiway and apron to access cargo facilities; and • Taxiway F will be realigned to accommodate the new stub pier. Phase 2 • Extension of the stub pier to accommodate three additional gates; • Apron area to accommodate new gates; • Relocation of Air Jamaica and associated airport support facilities. Post Phase 2 • Creation of new north pier • Apron area to accommodate additional gates • Extension of terminal building

The ‘New’ Terminal Building Our proposals for the terminal processor expressed a unique style which fused together traditional Jamaican cultural values and the best of modern technological advances. The effect is to portray a lasting positive impression for both arriving and departing passengers. The proposed landside access and parking provisions allow smooth and efficient traffic flows, coupled with a high degree of flexibility to accommodate possible changes in future traffic patterns. The airside design provides for a mix of new aircraft stands docking on piers alongside the terminal processor. Allowance has been made on the apron layout for special vehicle lanes to service the aircraft, and operational flexibility has been built into the setting out of the apron. Key considerations in the development of these proposals include adopting methods and materials familiar to the local construction industry; as well as seeking a cost efficient solution which will deliver the best value for money. The following ten key approaches were adopted: 1. A plan designed to maximise flexibility to best respond to air traffic growth and

the unpredictable future. 2. A compact Phase 1 Terminal Building, which is easy to expand in the future,

with minimal disturbance to operations at minimum cost. 3. An airport layout and terminal building concept which serve the efficient

operation for an ongoing status of a regional gateway. 4. Optimum convenience for passengers with minimum level changes, high

service standards, short walking distances etc. 5. All passengers enjoy the same spaces, filled with natural light and offering views

to the outside. 6. An airport which recognises the needs for commercial revenue, where

opportunities are maximised, from the siting of large-scale developments to the sizing and strategic location of shops and restaurants for passengers and public.

7. A building structure which is designed on a simple standard module, optimising repetitive construction, minimising on-site learning curve, and creating opportunities for prefabrication.

8. Precision in design that resolves interfacing and co-ordination problems early, making a fast-track programme for construction feasible.

9. Design that optimises the performance of materials selected on the basis of local availability, functionality, abundance of local skills and low cost procurement.

10. A unique experience for all arriving and departing passengers. Tender Documentation and Construction Tender documentation was prepared, invitations to tender were sent out to various international contractors and in December 2005 Kier Caribbean were appointed Main Contractors. Construction commenced in April 2006 and an additional level was added to the existing pier to enable total segregation between arriving and departing passengers and in July 2007, the new pier was officially opened by the then Prime Minister, Rt. Honourable Mrs. Simpson. Parallel construction of the new terminal facility proceeded at pace and was successfully completed and fully operational in the summer of 2008 with the official opening by The Hon. Orette Bruce Golding M.P., Prime Minster of Jamaica on the 21st October 2008.

Conclusion At Norman Manley International Airport major ‘surgical’ intervention was needed to achieve dramatic improvements in passenger experience and security without impacting operations and provide Kingston with a new gateway. Innovative, Qualitative and Affordable design combined with a solid relationship between the Airports Authority of Jamaica and Llewelyn Davies Yeang has given the island a more ‘welcoming gateway’ it can justifiably be proud of – arguably the best in the Caribbean!! Jamaica is a proud nation, proud of their past, proud of their achievement in business and extremely proud of their sportsmen and sportswomen. Too often the island is associated with poverty, conflict, violence and tragedy. With more Jamaicans living off the island than on the island, there is a ‘hope’ to attract more people back. The completion of the new terminal is a positive step forward towards a brighter future for the ‘Island in the Sun’.

Xian Xianyang International Airport, Terminal 3

Xian Xianyang, China

Client Completion Value

Project description Located in the very heart of China, Shaanxi Province has been a political, economic and cultural centre in China for centuries. Xi’an is regarded as the cradle of Chinese civilization and the Eastern Terminus of the famous “Silk Road” trading route between Europe and Asia. The Yellow River has always acted as a major distribution network, helping to spread the word about the incredible cultural history and diversity of the heart of China. The city is experiencing unprecedented opportunities and challenges to secure a prosperous future. The strategic plan for the Great West Development facilitates considerable development in Shaanxi in a context of the expanding reform and ever increasing access to the outside world. Therefore, the timely delivery of the expansion project for Xi’an Xianyang International Airport is fundamental to realising the airport’s dream of becoming the regional and international portal and traffic hub. The objective of the master plan is to provide the design capacity for the total airport of 26 million passengers per annum in 2020, 48 million in 2035 and ultimately 60 million. In order to accommodate the annual throughput of 26 million passengers in 2020, the recommended sceme will be a centralised terminal building with a pier on the south and the north respectively. The proposed Terminal 3 is designed to have an area of 170,000 sq.m. which is entirely integrated with the existing terminal facilities. While the existing requirement is only for a total of 65 stands based on the annual passenger throughput forecast, our scheme provides a total of 85 stands, including 50 contact stands and 35 remote stands to maximise the efficiency of the operation on the apron and the use of the remote stands.
