WSP (as enstruct) assisted SACL with the design of new
check-in facilities at the International Terminal. The concept required a
check-in capacity increase and flexibility for passengers. Self check-in kiosks
were installed at the existing Departures Check-in Hall to replace the current
facilities, and a new system of automatic bag drops and baggage handling system
conveyors were required to connect the new facilities to the existing conveyors
located below the Departures Hall slab.
Assisting with the concept design, *WSP (as enstruct)
developed the structure below the Departures Hall to support the new baggage
conveyors and access platforms. Despite the challenging site conditions, the
structural design of the support structure and platforms had minimal impact on
the airport operations. It provided an economical way to install the structure
and allowed for the reticulation of existing and new services.
