Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport

Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is the busiest airport in the world, with five active runways, two terminals and five separate concourses. It was built in the 1970's and early 1980's. Currently, the airport is undergoing major renovations to include the re-roofing of Concourses A, B, C, & D. Raymond Engineering-GA, LLC was retained to provide roof evaluation surveys, re-roofing design, construction management, and quality assurance inspections for Concourses A & B. Construction Administration and Quality Assurance Inspections were provided for Concourse C, and Construction Management was provided for Concourse D. Now, Raymond Engineering-GA, LLC has been retained as general roofing consultant to the facility.

Two major challenges exist when working at this airport: non-interruption of flight operations and access to restricted areas. This project also included the re-roofing of two active control towers. There were limited areas for ground operations, and these were subject to change if the ground control tower decided to place a plane in an area where it would block ground operations for roofing crews. We also worked closely with AATC to coordinate work schedules so as to minimize impact airport operations while maximizing production. The project was finished on time and within budget.
