Airport World - Joe Bates
Airport World turns the spotlight on a handful of infrastructure development projects currently taking shape or being planned across the globe.
Kumasi International Airport’s new terminal is on target to open in October, 2022, and may even handle its first flights in August, if news reports from Ghana are to be believed.
British steel company, John Reid & Sons (REIDsteel) provided design, steel fabrication and supervision services for the ‘ultra-modern’ new terminal, which will initially be equipped to handle up to 800,000 passengers per annum.
San Antonio International Airport’s new Terminal C is a step closer to reality following the news that Corgan has been approved to provide planning services for the Terminal Development Program and its enabling projects.
The international architecture and design firm’s services will lay the groundwork for Terminal C, which is expected to be completed by 2028.
Zurich Airport’s planned new Dock A will be largely built from locally sourced wood, which according to the Swiss gateway will set new standards in terms of the sustainable development of terminal buildings.
The airport has chosen to go with an innovative design by the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) with the support of HOK, 10:8 Architekten, engineer Buro Happold, timber experts, Pirmin Jung, and aviation consultant, NACO.
