9 Gannett Fleming brings our clients a comprehensive understanding of both landside and airside infrastructure and operations. Smart Park Expansion at the Harrisburg International Airport Harrisburg International Airport and Capital City Airport On-Call Engineering Services Gannett Fleming performed on-call engineering and architectural services for Harrisburg International Airport (HIA) and Capital City Airport in Harrisburg, Pa., to facilitate the operation and expansion of the two airports. Assignments included a 1,200-car expansion of the existing long-term shuttle parking inclusive of lighting and bus shelters, plus an additional parking area for 200 vehicles for airport employee use. Amenities within the area included shuttle bus shelters with radiant heating and card-access gate controllers for employee parking. Gannett Fleming s civil, electrical, mechanical, and structural disciplines provided services toward completion of the project. Because of the rapidly growing need for the expansion project, our firm worked closely with HIA and the city in an effort to fast-track the project toward completion. Charlotte/Douglas International Airport Roadway Relocation The addition of a new runway at the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport in Charlotte, N.C., made the relocation of two existing state roads necessary. Gannett Fleming was responsible for planning and designing more than 3.5 miles of highway relocation in conjunction with this airport expansion. The relocation involved the design of both highway and railroad bridges. Because of the placement of the new runway, the construction of the Charlotte Outer Loop Highway, and the construction of a new railroad track to a major intermodal railroad yard, a considerable amount of effort was spent on corridor selection and alignment for the relocated roadways. The final planning document was submitted to and approved by the City of Charlotte Aviation Department.

10 Pennsylvania Air National Guard, 193rd Special Operations Wing, Aircraft Hangar Renovation Gannett Fleming designed a comprehensive security system that features the largest iris scan biometric access control system in a U.S. airport. Pennsylvania Air National Guard, 193rd Special Operations Wing Repair Fuel Cell Hangar, Building 71 Gannett Fleming provided complete architectural, structural, civil, geotechnical, environmental, mechanical, and electrical engineering design services for a 19,636-square-foot aircraft hangar renovation project for the Pennsylvania Air National Guard s 193rd Special Operations Wing in Middletown, Pa. This aircraft hangar was built in 1974 and is used for the repair, maintenance, and washing of C-130 aircraft. Our firm s services included the renovation and repair of both the interior and exterior of the facility. The project also included a high expansion foam (HEF) system. The HEF system pump room, pumps, and storage tank facilities were designed to handle a future HEF system for the aircraft maintenance hangar (Building 75). This project included all the HEF requirements for Building 71 and the pumps and water storage for Building 75. A pump house addition and two water tanks were constructed for the HEF system. Facility enhancements for this project included electrical, mechanical, and utility systems upgrades; exterior surfaces repair and painting; the addition of a standing seam metal roof above the existing office and support area; hangar door upgrades; restroom and office renovations to meet current standards and upgrade finishes; hangar bay finish upgrades; a pump room addition; and HEF system installation in the hangar bay, in compliance with the Pennsylvania Air National Guard requirements. San Juan Pueblo Airport Runway Reconstruction Gannett Fleming provided professional engineering services for the design, bid phase, and construction management of the full reconstruction of Runway at the San Juan Pueblo Airport in San Juan, N.M. The project initially required providing an assessment of the existing airside and landside facilities, including on-site drainage. The improvements needed at the airport were then presented in a design rationale report and prioritized with input from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Aviation Division of the New Mexico Department of Transportation, and the Pueblo. The first phase of improvements involved the full reconstruction of Runway 16-34, including turnarounds at both ends of the runway, and the installation of medium-intensity runway lights, a rotating beacon, a primary wind cone with a segmented circle, an airport electrical vault, airport property fencing, and runway markings.

11 Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport Taxiway Improvements As part of the first phase of improvements, our firm developed the Pueblo s disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) plan and computed its annual DBE goal. All of this work was coordinated with the regional FAA Office of Civil Rights in Fort Worth, Texas, and the FAA Office of Civil Rights headquarters in Washington, D.C. Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport Taxiway Improvements Our firm designed and prepared construction documents for an airport taxiway improvement project at the Kendall- Tamiami Executive Airport in Miami-Dade County, Fla. The project included a dual taxiway system for Runway 9R-27L and Runway 13-31; an additional runway exit for Runway 9R; enhancements to runway entrance geometry to improve bypass capacities; and pavement marking, lighting, signage, and drainage. Drainage modifications, designed to conform to the airport s primary stormwater management system, consisted of the relocation of existing catch basins from their location within the limits of the proposed taxiway to new swale areas on both sides of the taxiway. Additional design services included a stormwater pollution prevention plan, lighting and signing for six taxiways, new windsock installations, and a comprehensive airside operations area safety plan to properly identify and protect aircraft during construction. Daytona Beach International Airport Comprehensive Security System Gannett Fleming designed a comprehensive security system for the Daytona Beach International Airport in Daytona Beach, Fla. The system included access control, video surveillance, and intercom controls. With independent areas of control, each area has designated cameras, intercom points, and access control points. In order to provide a seamless interface, the cameras are automatically switched based on operator activity. Unlike many airport security systems, the Daytona Beach International Airport system is a true peer-to-peer system that does not require a host server for full functionality. Because of the peer-to-peer architecture, the system will not revert to a less-than-fully-functional mode. In addition, the new system features the largest iris scan biometric access control system in a U.S. airport. The comprehensive security system automatically monitors and controls all activity and movement via the system s graphical interface, making a highly complex, intelligent, and easyto-use security system. To expedite the alarm response and prevent consequences if a criminal or terrorist attack occurs, alarm events and video are automatically displayed at the monitoring stations without human intervention consequences.
