The Brussels South Charleroi Airport inauguró la ampliación de su nueva terminal, que ha sido diseñada por la firma especializada en aeronáutica AERTEC Solutions. A la inauguración acudieron el primer ministro de Valonia, Paul Magnette, y los ministros de Transporte y Economía de Bélgica, François Bellot y Kris Peeters, respectivamente, además de todo el equipo de AERTEC Solutions que ha participado en el proyecto. El resultado demuestra que el diseño de terminales aeroportuarias eficiente no requiere presupuestos ilimitados: con una ingeniería orientada al pasajero es posible crear espacios funcionales y confortables.
Para AERTEC Solutions, la sostenibilidad es también combinar el conocimiento con la tecnología local para lograr el máximo en términos de eficiencia.
The international engineering and consultancy specialising in aeronautics has developed uno de los proyectos más ambiciosos en toda Europaat airports low cost de tamaño medio, con un presupuesto global de 70 millones. “Ha sido todo un reto para nuestro equipo: hemos redactado el Plan Director, realizando todas las hipótesis de crecimiento, diseñado por completo la infraestructura y finalmente hemos controlado la ejecución de los trabajos para que entre en servicio a finales del presente año» afirma Martín Cardinaal, responsable de arquitectura de AERTEC Solutions. AERTEC no solo redactó el Plan Director, sino que asumió el control de ejecución y dirección de obra aeroportuaria, garantizando que el proyecto se entregara en plazo y presupuesto.
The new terminal at Belgium's second-largest airport, budgeted at 11.5 million euros, has just over 6,000 m2 of space.2 de superficie, y es la primera fase de un ambicioso plan que llevará al aeropuerto prácticamente a duplicar su superficie en los próximos 8 años. Con la actuación recién inaugurada, la infraestructura tiene la capacidad de atender hasta ocho millones de pasajeros dentro del nivel de servicio C establecido por la IATA, aunque cuando se culminen todas las actuaciones previstas por el Plan Director, redactado igualmente por AERTEC Solutions, se podrán alcanzar more than 10 million passengers a year. In addition, the car park has also been significantly reinforced in terms of capacity, increasing it by some 3,000 m2.2 The road accesses have also been extended and improved.
The new design aims to be a continuation of the existing terminal and, given the latitude in which it is located, exploits all the possibilities of natural lighting as well as views towards the aircraft apron. The result is a terminal with a very modest budget, but with bright and pleasant spaces for the traveller, within a project that seeks to demonstrate that it is possible to make airports low cost people-oriented. "The working concept of AERTEC Solutions is based on the sustainable constructionSustainability is not only about using natural resources. For us, sustainability is also about combining our know-how with local technology to achieve the maximum in terms of efficiency," says Martin Cardinaal.
Another of the priority objectives of the project designed by AERTEC Solutions has been to improving the user experience Charleroi Brussels South Airport, ranked 4th in the ranking of the best airports in the world. low cost in the world, according to a study by Skytrax. The project has improved the design of four key spaces for the quality perceived by the travellerCheck-in, security control, passport control and baggage reclaim. One of the major challenges for AERTEC Soutions has been to ensure the compatibility of the terminal expansion works with the full operation of an airport that has been experiencing strong passenger growth in recent years. Likewise, and in response to medium-term traffic growth estimates, another of the premises has been to facilitate future expansions in line with passenger and airline demand.
AERTEC Solutions has not only developed the design of the new terminal, but has also carried out all of the preliminary studies necessary for the definition of the extension projectThe project has developed its Master Plan and has supervised the entire tendering process and execution of the works, which have been completed ahead of schedule. "Our design is not just good architectural design. Thanks to our know-how Throughout the airport's life cycle, we have met this challenge with all the guarantees, because there are many very good architects, but not so many who know airport architecture," concludes the project manager.
This important work in Belgium adds to the extensive experience that AERTEC Solutions has accumulated in international airport projectsThe company has been present in countries such as Colombia, Panama, Peru, Brazil, Chile, Bolivia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, among others. Its capacity to intervene globally in the complete cycle of engineering, design and execution of airport infrastructures has led the Spanish company to position itself as one of the world's leading companies in this field. the best technological ally at 100 international airports in 40 countries.
