- Title
Terminal 3 am Flughafen Frankfurt: Building the Future.
- Authors
Rohr, Harald
- Abstract
Terminal 3 at Frankfurt Airport – building the future Fraport AG is building Frankfurt Airport's new Terminal 3 at the site once occupied by the former U. S. Rhine‐Main Airbase, as part of a long‐term strategic expansion project. Despite the Covid‐19 pandemic and the impact it is having on the aviation industry, the new terminal will play a key role in the airport's future. The project is taking a flexible three‐part modular approach that can be adapted depending on how requirements develop. Two of them are now taking shape: the main terminal building with piers H and J, and pier G, which will together provide enough capacity for up to 19 mio. passengers a year. A new driverless Sky Line people mover and intelligent baggage handling systems will rapidly and seamlessly link Terminal 3 to the two existing terminals and the long‐distance and regional train stations in the north of the airport. This is one of Europe's largest privately funded infrastructure projects, entailing a total investment of some 4 bio. Euro. Its many aspects, ranging from special underground engineering and structural construction to installing technical systems, pose many challenges for the involved planners and engineers. A variety of building trades are concurrently at work on various parts of the project, which are smoothly coordinated to avoid interrupting operations at Germany's largest aviation hub.
