Project Details
Overview
Melbourne Orlando International Airport (MLB) unveiled an 86,000-square-foot terminal expansion to accommodate an influx of international passengers, particularly from TUI Airway’s debut flights from the United Kingdom. The year after the project was completed, MLB saw a record of nearly 750,000 passengers, surpassed only by the airport's top year in 1990.
We provided erection engineering services to Superior Rigging & Erecting for the project, which aimed to improve both domestic and international travel experiences. It includes an expanded departure area, new gates, four-lane security checkpoint, extended baggage claim, new welcome center, restrooms, restaurants and retail.
Highlights
- We evaluated the client's erection sequence to verify structural stability during intermediate stages, identify needed temporary bracing, design required temporary works and provide a signed and sealed erection procedure.
- We provided design attachments to steel members, including lifting lugs and other temporary works necessary for lifting and assembly.
