Day 1 - 15 March
Session: Airport Design, Planning & Development

11:45 - 12:10 - Less impact and greater results – renovation of a capital airport
Synopsis: To accommodate bigger 4E aircraft and new international passengers, Taipei Songshan Airport (TSA), originally a domestic-flight hub, began a six-year renovation project in 2008. The project covered the whole airport area, including airside and landside. TSA was expected to maintain its high capacity during the renovation period. How to provide high-quality service while implementing construction works in the less-than-90-acre area inevitably posed a challenge for architects, civil engineers and airport administrators. The presentation will show how construction phases were intelligently planned and how new ideas were realised to tackle the challenge with great success.

Audience will learn:

• Origin of introducing renovation into the Taipei Songsung Airport, located in the highly populated capital city in Asia
• Coordination challenges between service maintenance and construction progress, between airside and landside works
• Solutions included elastically adjusting parking stands, a temporary arrival corridor and waiting lounges, and intensive collaborations among stakeholders, etc.
