HDR’s structural design capabilities in cast-in-place and cast-in-place segmental work mean limited traffic impacts at the fifth-busiest airport in the world. In addition, the use of three different guideway construction methods is providing flexibility to adapt to specific locations. Using extensive studies of existing utilities, HDR is designing guideway columns in areas where the fewest utilities will need to be relocated. The design of the APM includes a number of technical innovations meant to minimize scheduling risks and construction impacts. Technical Innovations, Expert Capabilities HDR is the lead designer for the design-build team, LINXS Constructors, partnering with HNTB as a design sub-consultant. Our scope of work includes the final design of 2.25 miles of elevated guideway and five APM stations with associated elevators and escalators, elevated passenger walkway structures with moving sidewalks between stations and terminals, parking structure improvements, roadway and landscape improvements and a maintenance and storage facility for the system’s electric trains.Īwarded the $4.9 billion public-private partnership to design, build, finance, operate and maintain the APM system for 30 years, the P3 developer, LINXS, is a fully integrated team made up of Fluor Enterprises, Balfour Beatty, Hochtief PPP Solutions, ACS Infrastructure Development and Bombardier Transportation USA. It will connect LAX to regional public transportation, provide time-certain access to the terminals and eliminate rental car shuttles, a current source of traffic congestion. The APM is the centerpiece of Los Angeles World Airports’ Landside Access Modernization Program. HDR is the lead designer for the fixed facilities on the $2 billion project, being built by the LAX Integrated Express Solutions public-private partnership team, or LINXS. The Automated People Mover train at Los Angeles International Airport will help relieve traffic congestion, reduce emissions and make travel a smoother and simpler process for tens of millions of passengers per year.
