The King Khaled International Airport is currently undergoing a large development and expansion program that aims at increasing capacity in the near future. Serving the city of Riyadh, it is the second biggest airport in Saudi Arabia, after Jeddah Airport. Some 20 million passengers per year travel through the airport and the current expansion program will extend capacity to 35 million.
As part of this program, the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has awarded Almabani General Contractor the contract for the design and construction of the required enhancements. Egis was nominated as design consultant of Almabani. For the first time in the airport infrastructure domain Egis will perform the full design under the BIM (Building Information Modeling) concept. Egis will also provide full technical support during construction.
The scope of works for this project covers the following airside facilities: new taxiways; new cargo apron; rehabilitation of existing taxiways; extension of the existing fuel line; and miscellaneous drainage improvements.
The new parking stands shall be equipped with new fuel hydrants. The existing two main fuel feeder lines, 24” each, crossing this apron shall be removed. Phasing of this removal needs to be coordinated with the installation of the new main lines such that disturbance of normal operations will be minimized. Continuous supply of fuel from jet fuel lines to airport facilities must be maintained at all times.
The new 24 inch dual, flow and return, main fuel lines inclusive of chambers and valves, complete with blank flange connections for the Terminal fuel loops shall be installed inclusive of all connections to existing intake (landside) and output (airside) points such as to ensure a complete and compatible jet fuel system.
