The structural system of this terminal consists of steel framing, composite floors (metal deck and concrete) and CMU bearing/shear wall. Renovation of the existing terminal included structural floor upgrades at the Security Checkpoint, in order to install new Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Equipment. The existing floor structural system is plywood flooring on cold formed steel framing, supported by steel beams on concrete piers and isolated footings. The design had to comply with the special requirements and it was subject for approval by the Port Authority of NY and NJ. Work included extensive data collection and evaluation of existing field conditions, design of a new floor system to support the new loads imposed by TSA equipment, and site inspections.
