Swanson Rink has been awarded a contract to support T1 Partners JV for the Terminal 1 Redevelopment Program at San Francisco International Airport (SFO); a 1-year, on-call contract with the Joint Venture. Swanson Rink will provide engineering services for planning and pre-programming activities to support the Baggage Handling Systems for Terminal 1. The $2 billion, 10-year program consists of renovating Terminal 1 as well as demolishing and replacing Boarding Area B. Improvements will include 24 new aircraft gates, new consolidated passenger-screening checkpoints, new airline ticket counters, new concession facilities, a new consolidated common-use baggage handling system and checked baggage-screening system, and program-wide seismic upgrades. The facilities provided under the program will be built in accordance with LEED Gold standards. Swanson Rink has previously worked at SFO providing baggage handling system engineering services for the Terminal 1 BHS Recapitalization project, which consisted of the replacement of the existing obsolete Explosive Detection Systems equipment and will continue their effort under the T1 Partners’ contract.
