Denver International Airport (DEN) has opened its much-anticipated new West Security Checkpoint, boasting 17 lanes equipped with advanced technology to expedite passenger screening. This marks the second phase of DEN’s $2.1 billion Great Hall Program, overseen by global design firm Stantec, which provided architectural, design, and construction administration services. DEN, the third busiest airport in the US for 2023 with over 77 million passengers served, aims to significantly improve the travel experience with this state-of-the-art facility. The West Security Checkpoint features innovative technology designed to streamline the screening process, including: “Reaching this milestone with Phase 2 will transform the travelers’ experience through one of the country’s busiest travel hubs,” said Carl Hole, senior principal at Stantec. “The partnership we’ve created with Denver International Airport will help them fulfill their Vision 100 strategic plan to prepare the airport to serve 100 million passengers annually over the next five to eight years and beyond.” Stantec, a top-ranked design firm by Engineering News Record, Architectural Record, and Building Design + Construction, offers extensive expertise in airport projects.
The Battery Coastal Resilience Project has been awarded the Envision Platinum Award by the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI). The project forms part of a wider initiative to bolster Lower Manhattan’s coastline against rising sea levels and increasingly severe storms. Led by the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) on behalf of the City’s Department of Parks & Recreation and the Mayors of Climate and Environmental Justice, the project will see the existing, deteriorating wharf structure rebuilt at a higher elevation. This will provide crucial protection against rising sea levels while seamlessly integrating with the beloved waterfront park at the southern tip of Manhattan. “The Lower Manhattan Coastal Resiliency (LMCR) project sets the standard for future projects of this kind, marrying coastal protection with an ambitious sustainability agenda,” said Andrew Kimball, president and chief executive officer of NYCEDC. “We are proud of LMCR and the teams involved for receiving the Envision Platinum Award, all in an effort to create a cleaner, greener New York City.” The Battery is a vibrant waterfront space, boasting extensive gardens, public art installations, and cultural landmarks. It also serves as the departure point for ferries carrying thousands of visitors to the Statue of Liberty…
Arlington County has chosen a design-build team led by PC Construction and Stantec to oversee a major biosolids upgrade project at the Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP). This progressive initiative, valued at approximately $175 million, will implement cutting-edge technology to transform wastewater into a renewable energy source and a valuable soil amendment. Sustainable Wastewater Treatment The project will see PC Construction and Stantec collaborate on the design and construction of several key treatment facilities. These include: The THP technology is a key element, enabling the WPCP to produce Class A biosolids suitable for use as fertilizer. Additionally, the captured biogas will be treated and utilised as a renewable energy source. Leaders in Sustainable Design-Build The chosen team boasts extensive experience in this specialised field. PC Construction brings its expertise as builders of the world’s largest THP facility, while Stantec contributes its design knowledge, having been involved in nearly half of the world’s THP projects. Furthermore, they are currently collaborating on the commissioning phase for WSSC Water’s Piscataway Water Resource Recovery Facility Bioenergy Project, set to be one of only five operational THP facilities in the United States. Delivering Environmental and Economic Benefits “This project holds immense significance for Arlington County…
