Terminal C High Gates Planning
DFW Airport, TX
Terminal C High Gates Planning
Location: DFW Airport, TX
Owner: DFW International Airport
Services: Structural and Civil Engineering
The project consisted of planning, programming, and phasing for the abatement and demolition of the existing Terminal C - High C Gates to be replaced with a new two-level, 111,000 SF terminal building. Bridging documents to a 10% level were created to allow the Airport to solicit Design Build proposals from qualified teams. Our role changed from planner to that of oversight on behalf of the airport as the design builder started their efforts.
Terminals A & C Central Terminal Area Expansion Planning
DFW Airport, TX
Terminals A & C Central Terminal Area Expansion Planning
Location: DFW Airport, TX
Owner: DFW International Airport
Services: Structural and Civil Engineering
The project consisted of planning, programming, and phasing of the overall expansion of Terminals A & C, inclusive of two additional double loaded piers, starting out with approximately 110,000 to 140,000 SF total floor area to accommodate nine new incremental gates. At the planning stage two options were considered. Bridging documents to a 10% level were created to allow the airport to solicit design build proposals from qualified teams. Once a design builder was selected our role is changed from planner to that of oversight on behalf of the airport.

JQ’s role as civil engineer included development of construction drawings, specifications and Basis of Design report for utilities, pavement markings, traffic flow and erosion control. The utility design included 1,200 LF of 12-inch water lines, 550 LF of eight-inch and four-inch sanitary sewer and 1,500 LF of storm drains connecting to proposed trench drain inlets around the newly expanded terminal and hardstand. JQ’s role as structural engineer included development of construction drawings, specifications and Basis of Design report for all structural systems and underground tunnels. The expansion included the design of three levels, 130,000 SF of new concourse space and accommodates four swing gates, both domestic and international flights with two wide body, four narrow body aircrafts. The physical connection to Terminal D involved partial demolition and tie-in to the existing building.

Terminal D Industrial Wastewater System Assessment
Location: DFW Airport, TX
Owner: DFW International Airport
Services: Civil Engineering
This project consisted of plan review, field investigations, dye testing, and mapping to verify the stormwater conveyance system and industrial drainage system on the air terminal side of Terminal D at DFW International Airport. The goal of the project was to confirm the routing of all drains and collector lines through separator units prior to discharge to the stormwater conveyance system. A summary memorandum of all findings was prepared that included drawings and descriptions of the system along with preliminary pipe sizing and routing for drain lines that were not currently connected to the separator system. The project also included preliminary construction cost estimating for proposed improvements.
