CBI member Arup announced that, after more than five years of design and construction, the Midfield Concourse at the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) is in full operation.
Located to the west of Terminal 1 and between the two existing runways at the airport, the five-level concourse has a total floor area of 105,000 square metres, with ceiling heights comparable to those of Terminal 1.
There are 20 aircraft parking stands, 19 of which are bridge-served, including two Code F (A380) stands. Passengers will also be connected to Terminal 1 via an extended automated people mover (APM).
A joint venture between Arup and CBI member Mott MacDonald has been working on the detailed design of this project since June 2010, providing full multidisciplinary design and construction support. Its scope of services is wide-ranging and includes structure, MEP, airport systems, façade, sustainability, APM, fire, baggage handling system, acoustics, logistics, and project management.
The joint venture has been supported by the architect Aedas, who has also worked closely with OTC Limited on the planning of the Concourse. Mott MacDonald and Arup have worked together on many similar projects, including Hong Kong International Airport Terminal 1 and Heathrow Terminal 5, and individually have played key roles in many major airport projects around the world.
