Project: San Francisco Int'l Airport, North Field Cargo Facility

OVERVIEW

This contract provided for the design, new construction and reconfiguration of the cargo and maintenance facilities in the North Field area of San Francisco International Airport (SFO).

The project included improved facility access and additional aircraft parking area at SFO. The segment of the work associated with this effort included improvements to the airside and landside access, including pavements.

The new facility is a pile-supported, high-bay, two-story structure with nearly 200,000 square feet of ground-level cargo warehouse space and 35,000 square feet of ground-level office space. The structure is steel-framed with an exterior skin of insulated metal siding and can accommodate 82 trucks on the land side, and five wide-body aircraft on the air side. The facility is a joint-use structure for two tenants, with space for a possible third or expansion by existing tenants.
