Airside 4 Expansion, Central Energy Plant (CEP) and Related Work
Orlando International Airport, Orlando, FL
Cost $93.5M
Project Description
The project consisted of two main components of work in two separate geographic locations. The first comprised the Central Energy Plant or CEP to provide chilled water and support services to Airside 4. The original central plant utility from the landside terminal was diverted back to the expanded landside terminal to provide additional cooling capacity. The new CEP is exclusive to Airside 4. The second project element followed by about six months. This component consisted of the actual Airside 4 expansion of the building outline to accommodate additional and expanded international passenger traffic and larger aircraft parking positions, including one A380, three-bridge gate position. This portion of the project comprised the expansion of Wing 12 to the south by approximately 20-feet as well as the relocation of four Passenger Boarding Bridges (PBB) and one high mast light pole to accommodate a new sterile corridor connection to an enlarged hub FIS area.
