Project Gallery

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (Airports Authority) required Architectural/ Engineering (A/E) services for task order type design and construction projects at Ronald Reagan Washington National, Airport, Washington Dulles International Airport and Dulles Toll Road System. As sub to RDM International, Inc., Mimar is providing architectural and engineering design services for renovations.

· Task 1: JP Morgan Chase Building HVAC Upgrade at Dulles International Airport (IAD) – The JP Morgan Chase Building at 45025 Aviation Drive is a four-story office building with a gross building area of approx. 137,000 square feet. This project included the renovation and expansion of the airport’s landside based office building to upgrade the existing HVAC system to improve functionality and energy efficiency. Services include providing professional Architectural services and coordination with the MEP consultants, and development of construction documents. CC:$3.5 M

· Task 2: Warehouse Expansion Redesign at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) – Provided architectural design services for the renovation of the existing Warehouse facilities located at 2458 Warehouse Road, Washington, D.C. The warehouse building expansion is approx. 3,780 SF on a 4,320 SF site.

· Task 3: HVAC Improvements at Dulles East Building at IAD – The Dulles East Office Building is located at 45045 Aviation Drive and is a four-story office building with a gross building area of approx. 124,000 square feet. This project upgrades HVAC systems to improve functionality and energy efficiency.

· Task 4: Ultraviolet/Infrared (UV/IR) Flame Detection System Evaluation at IAD – A survey and analysis was conducted of the existing UV/IR Flame Detection System and associated Deluge Fire Sprinkler System at various locations within IAD.

· Task 5: Terminal A – Food Service Dry Storage Infill at DCA - Provide professional engineering and architectural consulting services for design of a new Dry Storage room and adjacent unfinished shell space.

· Task 6: Terminal A Dog Relief Area at DCA – Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) wanted to build an area for in transit animals such as dogs prior to boarding or after disembarkation, if they need to use “relief” or doggy bathroom. This facility will be located in main passenger thoroughfare immediately after TSA check point or just prior to exiting terminal. Prime location required careful thinking of wall materials both inside the facility or outside in main thoroughfare. This task also required major coordination of existing utilities and exhaust system. Scope included all architectural, structural, plumbing, mechanical, electrical and limited fire protection evaluation and design for the post security dog relief area.

· Task 7: Terminal A Air Shaft near Air Canada at DCA – This task is to design enclosure for baggage handling lift which can transport oversized baggage such as Golf Club, fishing rod, Ski equipment etc. from ticket counter level to apron level at Terminal A. The new air shaft will be constructed of masonry walls. The addition of Air Shaft will displace up to 4 work stations which will be relocated within proximity of ticket counters in a high-end office space. Scope of work included all architectural, structural, plumbing, mechanical, electrical and limited fire protection evaluation and design for the air shaft near Air Canada and relocate existing adjacent office space for future fit-out per the Authority’s need.

· Tasks 8: Water Heater Replacement and Fuel Farm - Existing water heaters serving terminal A have shown some signs of aging and required replacement. The task was to design for required capacity and to design such that hot water shut downs should not affect normal passenger traffic. Also, fuel Island which serves snow removal equipment during winter season had to be replaced. Fuel Island replacement required design of steel platforms and supports carefully located to avoid obstruction for snow removal equipment.

· Tenant Fit-Out of Dry Storage Area: The Dry Storage area located at tarmac (or Tug) level under Terminal A is originally designed by MIMAR as a shell space for Reservoir Restaurant. Following that, MIMAR was approached to design interior of this space including HVAC and Lighting.

· Water and Sewer Connection for Temporary Job Trailer Out Side Garage A: During construction period of DCA Air Port expansion (estimated to be 4 years) Turner Construction was looking for assistance in preparing permit drawings for job trailer to be located near Garage A with work spaces and restroom facility. The permit drawings typically involve exhaustive review process, communication with reviewer and Engineer which was accomplished in a timely manner.

· Water Heater Replacement and Fuel Farm: Existing water heaters serving terminal A have shown some signs of aging and required replacement. The task was to design for required capacity and to design such that hot water shut downs should not affect normal passenger traffic. Also, fuel Island which serves snow removal equipment during winter season had to be replaced. Fuel Island replacement required design of steel platforms and supports carefully located to avoid obstruction for snow removal equipment.

· Repair Existing Floor Expansion Joint Located at Banjo Building (Terminal A): Floor Expansion Joint located in main passenger traffic area is deteriorated and covered with floor mat which was tripping hazard. This task was to remove existing joint material and install new system so that it can absorb any expansion or contraction movement and at same time negotiate existing level difference at both ends without creating tripping hazard and must meet ADA guidelines.
