Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport: Concourse-E

Service Details

Surveying & 3D Scanning

As a Joint Venture partner with the Jervis B. Webb Company, JBW/SEI is providing the design, integration, manufacture and installation of the new baggage handling conveyor system as part of the new Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal project for the City of Atlanta. SEI has provided 3D laser scanning, clash detection and header steel design services within Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Concourse E to support the baggage handling system reconfiguration. Scan data is used to identify clashes of the new conveyor system with existing structures and utilities within the facility by importing 3D models of the conveyor right-of-way into the point cloud where conflicts may be identified. This data is in turn used to assist system designers in conveyor realignment and to prepare enabling documents to support utility and/or structure relocation.

Enabling documents are prepared utilizing the scan and clash data to assist contractors with identification and relocation of affected utilities or other building infrastructure in conflict with the new conveyor alignments. CAD models of the clash objects are created in the areas of conflict, which are imported into the mechanical engineers’ drawings. SEI has also prepared the design and installation drawings for the structural header steel beams which support the new conveyor system in Concourse E. By again utilizing the point cloud data, designers were able to accurately place steel support beams within the ceiling structure and its associated existing utility grid to minimize conflicts.
