What: Joseph Burns, managing principal of Thornton Tomasetti, the international engineering firm with practices in building structure, building skin and building performance, will moderate a panel on “Minimizing Change Orders Through BIM Utilization” at the 2010 Airport Consultants Council/American Association of Airport Executives Airport Planning, Design & Construction Symposium.

This three-day event February 24 to 26 will highlight the latest tools, methods, concepts and new ideas in airport development and operations.

When: Thursday, February 25 at 2 PM

Where: Omni Hotel at CNN Center, 100 CNN Center, Atlanta, Georgia

Who: Joseph Burns, P.E., S.E., FAIA, LEED AP, managing principal of Thornton Tomasetti

Why: This is a must-attend event for aviation directors, airport managers, operations managers and airport staff responsible for planning, engineering, finance, sustainability, information technology and legal aspects at public airports. The workshops will range from providing “the basics” to highly technical sessions. Five concurrent technical workshops are scheduled under five tracks: planning; terminals and landside; airside; project management and construction management; and, for the first time, a new track on sustainability. Information technology will be a theme woven into the individual tracks. The combined “super tracks” will feature insights on decision-making in volatile economic times and international collaboration opportunities. The plenary sessions will provide the latest perspectives from airports and the airlines that will benefit airport staff and consultants alike, particularly in this time of uncertainty in the aviation industry.
