Airport infrastructure design

Design of efficient, safe infrastructure tailored to airport operations.

At AERTEC, we develop preliminary designs, basic designs and construction drawings for airside and landside infrastructure, based on an integrated approach that incorporates aeronautical, operational and sustainability criteria. This approach enables us to define solutions that comply with international standards and are tailored to the airport’s operational realities, ensuring efficiency, safety and optimal performance throughout the entire lifecycle.

Our work always takes airport operations as its starting point, ensuring that every solution meets actual operational needs, facilitates systems integration and reduces risks during the subsequent construction and commissioning phases.

Our airport design services

Air-side infrastructure

Specialisation in airfield design and optimisation, ensuring operational safety and efficiency in aircraft movements.

  • Runway design
  • Design of taxiways
  • Apron design and associated systems
  • Visual aids design: airfield ground lighting, markings and signage
  • Design of navigation aids and radio equipment
  • Heliport and helipad design and planning
  • Vertiport design (link to AAM section)

Terminal area

We design terminals with a focus on operational efficiency and enhancing the passenger experience.

  • Passenger terminal design
  • Design of VIP terminals
  • General Aviation Terminal Design (FBO)
  • Design of accesses, urbanisation and car parks
  • Design of automated baggage handling systems (BHS)
  • APM (Automated People Mover) system design
  • Integration of intermodality solutions
  • Dynamic terminal simulations (passengers, BHS, accesses...)

Control Towers and Systems (ATC/CNS)

Integration of infrastructure and systems to ensure safe and efficient air traffic management.

  • Control tower design
  • Design of technical rooms and operational spaces
  • Equipment design and system integration

Aeronautical industrial infrastructures

Development of essential support infrastructures for airport operations.

  • Hangar and MRO design
  • Cargo terminal design
  • Design of operational buildings and multi-service halls
  • Workshop and warehouse design

Ancillary infrastructure

Design of energy and support systems and infrastructures.

  • Design of electrical networks and power substations
  • Design of photovoltaic installations
  • Design of transmitter centres
  • Design of Rescue and Fire Fighting Buildings
  • Fuel plant and distribution system design

Integrated approach

From strategic planning to detailed design, AERTEC comprehensively covers the entire airport life cycle, ensuring coherence between the strategy and its materialisation in operational infrastructures. Our approach is based on a multidisciplinary integration that connects airside, landside and systems, with a design oriented to the actual operation of the airport. This allows us to guarantee compliance with international standards and, at the same time, optimise costs, deadlines and construction risks, providing solid, efficient solutions that are ready for operation.
