Los Angeles International Airport

 Terminal Cores and APM Interface 

In preparation for the new automated people mover (APM) at LAX, the airport has constructed new vertical circulation cores at several locations in the central terminal area. These core buildings accommodate the pedestrian bridges to the APM stations as well as the vertical circulation and connectivity to all levels in the adjacent terminals. The airport chose to deliver the core elements at Terminals 6, 7, and the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT), under the capital improvement program, where PMT was embedded in the terminal development staff augmentation. PMT provided project, design, and IT management from early design and enabling through construction, using the airport’s preferred design-build delivery method. Scope included demolishing portions of Terminal 6, 7, and TBIT, temporary and final relocation of airline support spaces and utilities in Terminal 6, reconstruction of the new T5.5 and TBIT core buildings, and interior renovations at Terminal 7 for a construction total of $450M. The program is achieving LEED Silver status. 

 TBIT Optimization

LAX initiated a multi-phase program to improve the functions of the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT), by increasing it’s capacity for domestic arrivals. The project was phased into four components: 1. Renovating the existing domestic bag claim to increase its capacity and construct two new common-use baggage service offices. 2. Constructing roughly 20,000sf of new office spaces to relocate five airlines and other airport support spaces. 3. Demolishing office spaces to accommodate a new corridor for domestic passengers to connect with the expanded bag claim. Including new wayfinding and emergency path of travel improvements.  4. Relocating Hawaiian airline offices and operations from Terminal 5 to TBIT, including offices, ticket counters, pilot and crew lounges, and support spaces. PMT provided overall project and construction management from conception to completion, including airline moves and IT support.

The Phased approach allowed for zero down time to Airport Operations, Airlines, or Tenants.  All cutovers and interface to Common Use Platforms completed overnight for minimal disruption.
