The Main Terminal and Concourses Fire Protection Project covers over 2.5 million square feet of total project area. It started phased construction in December of 2006 and achieved code compliant and state-of-the-art fire protection systems for the entire airport terminal in five years. The project also involved coordination and reviewal of smoke management systems, jet fueling stations, and 45-foot-high atrium ceilings.
We paid special attention to the aesthetics of public areas and the flexibility of retail spaces in our design of the sprinkler and fire alarm systems. We also led weekly design and construction meetings and maintained the project meeting minutes.
