San Francisco International
Airport
New International Terminal and Gates
SITE
At the time of it's completion in 2000, the 2.5 million-square-foot
terminal at San Francisco International Airport was the
largest international terminal in the United States. The
expansion project also included an airport rail system
linking the terminal to the Bay Area Mass Transit System,
a new BART station, new parking garages, and a consolidated
rental car center.
SCOPE
Designed to accommodate a projected rise in SFO international
passenger traffic from 7 million in 1997 to 12 million
passengers by 2006, the new terminal has 24 gates and
two new boarding concourses. Panasonic Systems is responsible for the design, engineering and
installation of the public address (PA) system throughout
the new terminal.
CHALLENGE
To provide the public and employees with the highest degree
of safety and convenience, Panasonic developed a redesign
proposal that included predetermined equiptment types
and an existing system design. The long project duration
required numerous formal submittals, stringent cross-referenced
specifications, strict adherance to city, state and federal
government regulations and an extended approval process.
Only a company with the resources of Panasonic could
undertake a project of this magnitude and complexity.
