Working with our sister company, John A. Martin & Associates, we provided structural engineering services for the air-blast mitigation design work for the street side of the Terminal 2 West Expansion, including bollard design to vehicle threats. The work was done according to the TSA “Recommended Security Guidelines for Airport Planning, Design and Construction” and included non-linear, time history analysis of the street side structural elements.
