EXTENSION AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE TURIN AIRPORT FOR THE 2006 WINTER OLYMPIC GAMES
Owner:
SAGAT - Turin Airport
Client:
SAGAT - Turin Airport
Project description:
The project consists of the extension of the passengers' terminal and the general upgrading of the airport facilities. A remote check-in area will be built for athletes and winter tourists. This building is to be connected to a new Baggage Handling System building (BHS) through an artificial tunnel, which accommodates conveyor belts. Significant improvements are also foreseen for the private flight area.
Geologic context:
Tunnels and building foundations are to be realized in glacial-alluvial deposits, formed by coarse to medium gravel and sand, with few silt and clay levels.
The water table is subjected to significant seasonal variations due to extensive irrigation of the fields close-by.
