Tunnel, transit, airport and negotiation experience deliver project
• Loop design allows APMs to link airport terminals, concourses
• Some tunnels accommodate pedestrians and various airport operations
• P3 leads to airport rail-service extension
The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority selected HNTB to design a loop tunnel system that allows automated people movers to link all the airport’s terminals and concourses.
The 10-mile, multitunnel project also accommodates a new baggage handling system, underground tugs, utilities, pedestrians and maintenance.
HNTB led negotiation of the public-private partnership that extended the Washington, D.C., rail system to the Dulles Airport. The extension is part of a Washington Dulles improvement program designed to accommodate the region’s growing air travel needs.
