BUILDING PROJECT

SUVARNABHUMI AIRPORT EXTENSION: ADDITIONAL FL. OVER IMMIGRATION AREA
Expected Design Completed: December, 2010


Structural Engineer :		CASE Co., Ltd.
Architect :		CASE Co., Ltd.
Structure :		The project is an extension of area over immigration counters in the departure lounge of Suvarnabhumi airport. The construction of this project must be conducted in the terminal building which has to be operated around the clock for over 100,000 passengers per day. The additional structures must sit on the existing structures. These conditions were taken into account in the design process. Light weight concrete panels and steel structures were used to reduce the total weight of structures. Moreover, the structures can be pre-fabricated outside the busy terminal building, then transported into the terminal and finally assembled at site using bolts. The structures have to be matched with the existing structures so that the maximum span of the trusses supporting the extension area is 18 m. Total area = 3,500 sq.m
