Realistic predictions about the growth of air passenger and freight movement to a community and its economy are vital when deciding how to match funding and available finance with greater safety, security and revenue opportunity.

Tight budgets and constantly rising expectations to deliver a safer, faster and enhanced service means the world’s aviation industry is examining every step of an asset’s life and its ability to generate revenue, with minimal impact on the environment.

Whether your vision is to create access and facilities to a new location, increase capacity and movement efficiency for a hard working local or international hub, enable a fly-in, fly-out workforce or improve commercial viability of diverse non-aviation investments, explore resourceful options to limit cost, aircraft noise and carbon emissions with GHD.

For 30 years, we’ve helped clients balance risk and opportunity, to grow sustainably.

Ceduna Airport in Shape for the Future

image

The district council of Ceduna in South Australia requested a concept and detailed design for a new terminal building for the city’s airport. The GHD design and planning layout for the terminal building caters for a peak load of more than 200 people and makes allowances for any future expansion by maintaining operational continuity throughout the facility.

The circulation spaces provide for efficient and unfettered movement. They are based on a logical relationship between patrons and the services they need to use. In keeping with strict security requirements, the concept design maintains a clear distinction between public and secure spaces. There is also allowance for baggage screening processes, should they be required in the future.

Qatar Airways at Doha Airport needed a two-storey extension to the existing departures terminal. Building on previous experience gained from similar project work, GHD provided architectural and engineering design services, as well as contract administration and project management services.

The extension was designed and constructed on a fast-track basis, which enabled its completion within just six months. The new section has given Qatar Airways additional gate boarding lounges, a first class lounge and cafeteria, increased check-in area capacity and additional baggage handling systems.
