Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Terminal 1 BHS/CBIS

GRAEF performed engineering, architectural design and project management services for baggage and screening upgrades at the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport, Terminal 1. The project included the design of mezzanines and support facilities to accommodate new automated screening operations and conveyors within the existing baggage handling space. GRAEF also remodeled other existing support spaces and the existing baggage carousel operations.

Structural design included the conveyor and equipment platforms and evaluation of existing structural systems. Structural systems were designed and coordinated to limit interferences with ongoing operations of the area. GRAEF also performed all architectural design associated with the project.

The design was done concurrently with construction already underway, coordinating with Whiting Turner Contracting Company, keeping shop drawings, RFI’s and plan reviews moving so as to not impede construction progress. Construction cost for this fast paced project was $32 million.
