Tripoli International Airport – Libya
The new Tripoli International Airport includes the construction of two 162,000 square meter terminals and a car park able to accommodate 4,400 vehicles. The Airport will have a capacity of six million passengers each year when the first phase is completed in late 2009, with plans for an expansion to accommodate 20 million passengers annually. The overall cost for the development is around $2.1 billion.
The new terminals will include 48 lifts, 160 check-in counters, 12 baggage carousels and 96 boarding bridges. The airport is expected to serve 100 airplanes simultaneously.
The developer, ADPi, a subsidiary of Aéroports de Paris (ADP), is one of the world’s leading architecture and engineering firms that designs and develops airport platforms and major infrastructures around the globe. The company is using Aconex to manage project information on seven airport developments around the world.
“Our projects typically involve hundreds of team members based across several countries, so we required a central platform for storing and distributing our design and construction-related information. Aconex is a great system that rapidly becomes the information backbone of any project. It gives immediate access to the latest versions of our documents from anywhere in the world, and provides us with a full document history and ultra-transparent companywide correspondence. Aconex provides an intuitive interface that users quickly comprehend.
“Moreover, the key to successful implementation of an information management system is training, reactivity and simplicity. These are three areas in which Aconex excel and that are crucial to their business model. The access to local training from the many Aconex offices throughout the world has been instrumental in fast roll-out times and system buy-in; and the availability of Aconex staff to support our projects has been outstanding.” – Daniel Penna, ADPi.
