Airfield & Terminal Modernization Program at LAX

Connico provided support for the development of the draft Environmental Impact Report, including environmental and technical studies for the LAX Airfield and Terminal Modernization Program (ATMP).

The first major task included identifying potential airfield improvement concepts and concourse/terminal concepts. Connico provided estimating, constructability and phasing analysis throughout the planning, preliminary engineering, and project definition of the conceptual alternatives for the airfield and terminal projects.

Initially conceptual constructability analysis was provided for each of the airfield improvement concepts, including phasing plans and probable construction schedules for each of the airfield improvement concepts. Rough order of magnitude (ROM) cost estimates was provided for each of the concepts with the identified and evaluated airfield improvements, including Crossfield Taxiways, Concourse 0 and Terminal 9 aprons and airfield access, and potential relocation of Taxiways B, C, and D.

Terminal modernization efforts included the conceptual development of alternatives for a new Concourse 0 and a new Terminal 9, and Connico conducted constructability analyses for those, including airfield and landside improvements and connectivity to existing infrastructure, as applicable. This effort included the development of a preliminary phasing/construction schedule with milestones, phasing, and owner requirements. A ROM was also prepared, including the airfield and landside improvements and impacts to existing infrastructure.

Connico also provided input to the development of the comprehensive integrated ATMP concept including the projects and project elements associated with the Airfield Improvements, Concourse 0, Terminal 9 and integration with the existing airfield, landside, terminal processors, and terminal gate facilities. This included identifying potential enabling projects required for the successful implementation of the integrated concept. Input to the integrated concept including conducting a constructability analysis, preparing phasing/construction schedules, and preparing ROM cost estimates.

The review and evaluation of landside roadway concepts to integrate Concourse 0 and Terminal 9 with the existing Central Terminal Area access and circulation roadway were also included. Connico provided constructability and phasing/scheduling analysis during the evaluation and development of the conceptual roadway layout plan. Multiple phasing alternatives were developed to ensure that the infrastructure required to support Los Angeles hosting the 2028 Olympics. A ROM cost estimate and conceptual construction phasing schedule were developed for the selected conceptual roadway layout plan.

The comprehensive integrated ATMP concept and the associated technical studies were used in the preparation of the draft Environmental Impact Report for the ATMP.
