Development concept progression 
Early development concept iterations 

Concept 1 


Concept 2 


Concept 3 

NOTE: Development concepts
illustrate major plan elements
independent of 1 vs 2 terminals 
Concepts 1-3 do not meet airport wide program needs       4

Development concept progression 
Concept 4 provided basis for development concept 
Major elements 
New widebody international gates on Concourse B 
Gate expansion to the north 
Aircraft hold positions provided north and south of existing and future gates 
SASA to accommodate functions displaced by gate and hardstand expansion 
Primary advantages      Primary challenges 
Meets program needs     Complexity of developing new airfield-
Best operational layout      connected land 
Complexity of construction phasing 
Concept 4 


Concept 4 meets airport wide program needs          5

Development concept progression 
Variations on gate expansion 
Three pier gate expansion to the north 



U-shaped gate expansion to the north 



Variations on gate expansion involve pros and cons        6

Development concept progression 
Pros & cons of U-shaped gate expansion concept 
Pros:                          Cons: 
Provides same gate capacity as three piers  Relatively inflexible string of
Additional aircraft hold positions provided   dimensions from west to east 
in ideal location west of gates           Difficult to integrate with roadways 
Greater flexibility for gating airlines       Single loaded concourse provides less
Greater flexibility for phasing in gates      opportunity for shared holdrooms and
Relatively flexible string of dimension      concessions 
from south to north 



U-shaped concept provides additional aircraft hold positions and operational flexibility  7

Development concept progression 
Variations on aircraft maintenance locations 
All aircraft maintenance in SASA 



Aircraft maintenance split between SASA and north cargo area 



Aircraft maintenance in north cargo area involves trade-offs with cargo    8

Development concept progression 
SASA alternative facilities layouts 
Aircraft maintenance split between SASA and north cargo area 
Would reduce the overall number of cargo aircraft parking positions 
GRE not located in convenient place for north end maintenance 





Aircraft maintenance in north cargo area involves trade-offs with cargo    9

Development concept progression 
Status of current development concept 
On-going study to determine recommendations for the following: 
Airside improvements 
Landside and airside people movers 
Commercial development in SASA (working with CoST) 





Working toward development concept recommendation        13

Implementation plan 
Major driver for capital program is gate & hardstand demand 
Deficit of approximately 17 gates in the mid-term 
87 gates post opening of IAF & NorthSTAR 
104 gate demand forecasted by 2024 at 440,000 annual operations 
Need approximately 35 gates in the long-term 
122 gate demand forecasted by 2034 at 530,000 annual operations

Annual Operations 
Deficit of approximately 17 gates at 440,000 annual operations   14

Implementation plan 
Purpose 
Determine logical sequence of projects to deliver needed capacity thru
full build-out of airport facilities 
Target capital investments to minimize throwaway 
Determine high level scope, purpose and timing of projects to inform
environmental review 
Identify enabling & capacity enhancement projects 
Identify near-term projects requiring "project specific" environmental review 
Build program cost model to inform plan of finance 
Determine order of magnitude project costs 
Approximate mid point of construction & day of operation 


Implementation plan purpose is high level phasing/definition of projects  15

Implementation plan 
Approach 
Sequence projects to add gate & hardstand capacity as soon as possible 
Sequence North Terminal to align with gate expansion 
Roadway improvements to connect North Terminal to regional network, local
streets, and Main Terminal 
Pedestrian bridge to connect North Terminal to new gates 
Minimize impacts to cargo facilities until additional capacity is
constructed in SASA 
Construct landside & airside people movers and improved light rail access
as soon as possible 
Maintain Airport Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) response capabilities
(airside, terminal & landside) 

Implementation plan approach - deliver needed capacity as soon as possible 16

Implementation plan 
Phase 1 construction 
1.  SASA platform & aircraft bridge, aircraft maintenance hangars to clear site for south
hardstand, and cargo facilities to enable additional impacts to cargo in phase 2 
2.  West side maintenance campus to clear SASA site and area for north hardstand 
3.  Gate & hardstand expansion with minimal impact to cargo, roadway improvements,
landside & airside people movers, and north terminal connected to gates

Implementation plan 
Phase 2 construction

Implementation plan 
Factors that could impact project delivery 
Funding 
Economic downturn 
Resource availability 
Project approvals 
Utilities 
Environmental review/permitting 
Project linkages 



Many factors could impact project delivery           23

SAMP program cost model 
Preliminary range of full program costs 
At this stage, program cost range is very preliminary: $10B - $15B 
Includes prospective placeholder estimates for individual projects 
Some project scopes and placeholder estimates are not yet fully synced
up with phasing plan which is in progress 
Some potential projects are still being studied and so have not been
adequately defined  examples include: 
Airside & landside people movers 
End around taxiways 



Program cost range is very preliminary             24

SAMP program cost model 
Several factors can influence project cost post SAMP 
Additional layers of
project planning and
definition 
Utilities survey,
planning and design 
Project phasing/
constructability 



Program cost range is very preliminary             25

Next steps 
Implementation plan 
Finalize phasing plan recommendation 
Refine program cost model 
Continued coordination with FAA 
Airfield compliance and airside modeling 
SAMP documentation 
Finalize passenger flow analysis and recommendation for airside and
landside people movers 
Refine North Terminal roadway and curbside concept
