The 37th Pursuit Group at Albrook Field replaced the P-40 Warhawks of the 28th Pursuit Squadron at the Paitilla Point airbase from 9 December 1941 though 26 March 1942 in the immediate aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack. Several airports were built to protect the Panama Canal from foreign aggression. The nearest airport to Tocumen was the Paitilla Point Airfield.

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources in this section. Additionally, our fast-track project delivery approach facilitated the start of pile installation and foundation construction a mere five months after the project was launched.This section needs additional citations for verification. The innovative “fuse” detail on top of the reinforced concrete columns offers protection to the exposed steel roof from the seismic forces that occur during such events. The HVAC system has been designed with intelligence, responding to occupancy patterns by cooling the lower zones of the concourse, which ultimately maximizes passenger comfort and well-being.Īs the airport is located in a region with seismic activities, our team employed a cutting-edge performance-based seismic structural design methodology to ensure the terminal’s robustness during an earthquake. This strategy balances both active (such as mechanical and electrical systems) and passive (such as natural lighting and ventilation) measures in order to create an environmentally friendly and sustainable solution.īy carefully selecting solar control glazing and incorporating a deep overhang, the terminal provides ample natural daylight and outside views, while also minimizing solar gain, which reduces the need for mechanical cooling. The integration of both engineering and architecture has yielded a comprehensive environmental strategy that artfully balances both complementary active and passive measures. The building’s facade was carefully curved to minimize walking distances and accommodate a larger number of aircraft stands.

The terminal’s planning prioritized minimizing connection times for transfer passengers with strong visual connections across the airport and intuitive wayfinding. The Tocumen International Airport has a symmetrical design with two wings of piers extending to the east and west from the central concourse, all under an aerodynamic bronze-colored roof. The new terminal boasts 20 additional boarding bridges, on top of the existing 34, access points, parking facilities, and interconnections with other infrastructure facilities. The project was executed in two phases, each taking 24 months, and covering a total area of about 82,000 square meters on 4 levels.

The main taxiway, fuel supply system, parking, generator backup, and electrical substation were also upgraded.

The primary objective of the project was to upgrade the airport’s infrastructure without causing any disruptions to the ongoing operations.Īyesa oversaw the design and construction of the new terminal, taxiways, aircraft parking aprons, and a new control tower. Ayesa led the project to construct a world-class passenger terminal at Tocumen International Airport in Panama City, in collaboration with Foster & Partners.
