Day 1 - 20 March
Session: Technology: Passenger Journey

12:00 - 12:30 - Terminal operator, contractor and consultant collaborate to rejuvenate LaGuardia Airport
Synopsis: LaGuardia Gateway Partners (LGP), Skanska Walsh JV (SWJV) and HOK/WSP are collaborating to replace the Central Terminal Building at New York's LaGuardia Airport. LGP was selected to take over operations of the Central Terminal Building for 35 years. The biggest challenge is the fact that the new terminal is being constructed on the same site as the existing one. This presentation will discuss how new technologies are facilitating the construction process while minimising impacts on operations and travellers and providing a robust infrastructure to build on for the next 35 years.

Audience will learn:

• Overcoming the challenges of designing and building a new terminal on a very busy and congested site
• How all members of the PPP (public-private partnership) team are successfully working together to create the best gateway to NYC
• How converged infrastructure is used to facilitate operations throughout construction and support new business processes
• A successful approach to systems integration/integration management
