Following the old road Lavacolla and just before the roundabout giving access to the airport, right, opens a door that leads to a new macroterminal boil. Behind the golf course still in use and hidden at the foot of the unused control tower, you see a hive of trucks, excavators and cranes. Between potholes and huge colossal accumulations of land, The pillars stand and draw the future of Santiago airport. Six months were enough to lay the foundations of a base that will be able to support up to 27 operations per hour.
Although the spike was delayed one and a half, the contractor is working against the clock to meet the committed schedule for Development: the summer of 2011. Shifts from Monday to Sunday - from six in the morning until four o'clock-180 workers have been put in the field and build the buildings in record time. But the second phase of work needs reinforcements and from of this week, the team added another 200 workers to shoot the number of direct jobs to nearly 400, has told this newspaper Luis Rey Pomar, Compostela airport director. Furthermore, the machinery installed at ground zero, was added 15 cranes of 40 meters.
duplicate media to tackle one of the hardest chapters of the project. During 2010 is expected to run the structure itself-pillars and floors of different plants, and the exterior walls of both the new terminal building (flood and processor) as the car park. This phase will also rise structures and support enabled the access roads to dependencies.
will be in this second stage, which lasts until late this year, when the current airport you notice the cost of the works. The ILS will be relegated (from III to II) because assembly of 15 cranes. With 40 meters high, its installation can affect the signal for radio, although its impact on air traffic is very difficult to calculate, "says Luis Rey. "It depends on weather conditions," he adds.
cut the margins of ILS, the difficulties at the end of the work could be higher. Will then have to undertake the entroques between the platforms of the old and the new terminal, he said. "The big advantage," he continues, is that access to works is set in an area outside the existing airport. It is independent. "
With an investment of 160 million euros, expects to release the Promotion macroaeropuerto Lavacolla in the summer of 2011. The works finally tore last June after a year and a half impasse because of the scuffle for the land previously occupied by the Aero Club. With capacity for 3,200 passengers at peak times to four million passengers by year- and 27 operations every 60 minutes, the area will triple the existing terminal facilities. The runway will be the same and is sufficient to enable access to the taxiway from the complex under construction. The future of the old building is still undecided, but the Master Plan proposes to allocate to traffic Lavacolla low cost.
