Building Performance

Ataturk International Airport, Seismic Upgrade Istanbul, Turkey

Memphis International Airport, Seismic Risk Assessment Memphis, TN

Building failures range from the everyday to the cataclysmic: from gradual deterioration that erodes function and value, to sudden and catastrophic collapse. Our Building Performance practice covers these extremes and everything in between. Inadequate building performance can stem from the envelope’s failure to control moisture or the degradation of mechanical systems that lead to occupant discomfort. Or it can result from design shortcomings or emerging priorities such as protective design, energy efficiency, and sustainability. Our multidisciplinary professionals provide technical support to building owners, managers and other stakeholders through the entire building lifecycle. We specify maintenance regimens, and assist owners with upgrades, repairs, expansions, adaptive reuses, and historic preservation. We offer a full range of forensic and analytic expertise using state-of-the-art computer analysis, modeling and visualization. We provide expert opinions on structural, architectural, mechanical and building envelope issues for litigation support. We present findings clearly and concisely and develop practical, cost-effective solutions for buildings of all types, vintages, sizes and complexities. Our firm’s global reach enables us to respond rapidly to structural failures, assessing damage and helping to mitigate and stabilize hazardous conditions. We develop appropriate solutions, including temporary stabilization, and engineer deconstruction and repairs to prevent an adverse situation from becoming worse.

Our multidisciplinary team of building skin specialists brings decades of experience providing design, consulting, engineering and construction support to clients around the world. We integrate building skin and structural designs in new buildings and renovation projects, with scope and service offerings that can be tailored to accommodate the specific needs and budget of any project.

As architects push building forms into new territory, building skin designs have evolved to meet new geometric complexities. Faceted designs and thinner, more delicate enclosures are becoming the norm. These aesthetic qualities must be achieved without sacrificing performance requirements dictated by unique local conditions, sustainability objectives, demanding schedules and budget constraints.

We provide façade consulting and engineering services to architects, building owners and developers at all project stages. We offer a suite of specialty analyses, either as standalone services or as part of a broader scope, that solve complex design challenges, improve constructability, maximize energy efficiency and increase security. We also perform a range of construction support consulting services to assist contractors during bidding, negotiation, value engineering, post-contract review and site supervision.

Building skins vary as widely as an architect’s imagination, with equally diverse solutions by engineers, contractors and manufacturers. Our expertise in systems and materials ranges from traditional curtain walls to innovative custom design solutions. Our capabilities in 3D parametric and building information modeling allow us to work directly with a variety of manufacturers worldwide on design, consulting, engineering and installation of these systems.

Integrated Modeling Services and Connection Design We provide connection design services through a number of delivery systems, from standard schedules and detailed drawings to fully integrated modeling services. Our integrated modeling services are packaged using a three-phase system. Phase One consists of inputting all main structural steel framing members into a mill order Tekla model. Phase Two involves the creation of custom Tekla components for agreed upon nodes, designed with supporting calculations. Phase Three entails developing a fully detailed Tekla model ready for fabrication. Logistics, Equipment and Site Planning Logistics, equipment and site planning services are offered to general contractors, fabricators and erectors to assist in bringing a project from the planning stage into the construction phase. This includes preliminary engineering checks for crane capacity and equipment selection, investigation of soil conditions and existing structures to support equipment, and optimization of crane locations for critical construction sites where crane capacity may dictate the construction order. Erection Engineering Erection procedure development supports erectors through tough issues during the erection of both complex and simple structures. We optimize the use of construction equipment, critical construction steps, manpower and safety. We can assist the structural steel erector in the development of lift plans and rigging for typical as well as heavy and critical lifts.

Superior Visualization and Communication

We are able take advantage of BIM to create 3D images and renderings, which are inherently more understandable than 2D drawings, to facilitate the clear communication of design issues. Also, animations and fly-throughs can be created quickly and frequently with the model and using our in-house “render farm” to explain complex concepts. Simple to use “web viewer” versions of BIM models can be created to allow those not trained in BIM to easily fly through the models and examine progress.

Increased Flexibility

BIM offers a more robust set of tools and methods to modify designs. Parametrics can generate numerous studies very quickly. Parametrics also allows us to accurately and easily manage last-minute design changes because they are automatically and effortlessly updated throughout project documents.

Interoperability and Automation Thornton Tomasetti understands the current state of the industry and the lack of true intelligent interoperability. Due to the shortcomings of the IFC and CIS/2 formats, Thornton Tomasetti has grown an advanced automation division to write our own custom in-house translators and interoperability scripts, as needed, to assist the design team by creating a more efficient work flow for all.

Thornton Tomasetti writes customized in-house translators and interoperability scripts using application programming interface (API) to share intelligent BIM information with other software programs. This includes back and forth between Revit, Tekla, Autocad, Catia, SAP, ETABS, Rhino, and numerous other applications. Thornton Tomasetti’s automation staff can quickly write customized translators for job-specific problems and increase speed and production for a given process. Customized translators save the design team considerable time and alleviate many problems caused by the lack of an industry standard BIM format.

Software Thornton Tomasetti has the most up-to-date BIM equipment with all building information modelers using Dell PC workstations with dual monitors. Our typical setup for a CAD workstation is dual quad core processors with 12GB of ram and high-speed SCSI hard drives. Approximately 200 operators have in-depth knowledge of AutoCAD, Revit, MicroStation, CATIA, etc. Revit Structure serves as our primary BIM production software. We are also industry-leading users of Revit Structure and have beta-tested many versions of Revit for Autodesk. Other BIM/CAD software used includes Microstation, Digital Project (CATIA), Tekla Structures, 3ds Max, Grasshopper, and Rhino. Thornton Tomasetti has created a system that is integrated with all of our various analysis and design programs. This allows for fast turnaround time, overall accuracy and drawing quality impossible to achieve without BIM.

Thornton Tomasetti provided structural design services for a new 40-gate airport terminal, which is constructed near an existing airport that was built in 1970.

The main terminal roof is supported on column “trees” constructed from four pipe column sections that splay in four directions as they reach the roof trusses. These trees, spaced 120 feet to150 feet apart, leave a vast open space to accommodate the ticketing area. A circular, glass skylight covers the spacious Civic Plaza on the ticketing level. The top and bottom chords of the roof trusses are segmented to match the surface of the roof, which curves in two directions. Two concourse arms extend from the terminal and lead to the departure gates.

Offices and mechanical levels are located above the departure level. A mezzanine slab between the arrival and departure levels supports the baggage screening system. The basement level supports the baggage handling conveyors to and from the arrival level.

Completion Date 1998

Construction Cost $435 million

Total Area 650,000 sf

Terminal One is the first new terminal complex in 25 years. Terminal One Group Association (TOGA), a consortium of four airlines: Air France, Lufthansa, Japan Airlines, and Korean Airlines wished to introduce international innovations in airport terminal design to America. To meet the client’s major objective of designing a world-class, state-of-the-art facility, the design team created innovative layout and structural geometry that also provided a maximum amount of aircraft gate positions on a tight sight and a fast-track schedule.

The two-level main terminal is trapezoidal in plan, with the 565-foot-long north side (landside) straight and the 750-foot-long south side (airside) bending in the gradual arc. The facility has two concourses - a three-gate west concourse that runs longitudinally against the curved south side and a finger-like south concourse that juts 679 feet into the apron. The roof is framed by twenty-six, 140-foot-long steel box girders in the shape of continuous leaping radial arches with tie rods stretching between arch ends.

Adding to the challenges of the project’s structural design was the requirement to design to the newly adopted seismic code for New York City. By integrating bracing into the lower, arrival level, the cost of the facility was greatly reduced. Similar savings were achieved in the detailing of the arch box girders, which had a pi-shaped cross section instead of a flush box shape, allowing fabrication with fillet weld instead of penetration welds, resulting in great cost economies.

King Abdulaziz International Airport has embarked on an ambitious expansion program that will allow up to 80 million passengers to pass through its terminals each year. Thornton Tomasetti assisted the design-build team with design completion management services for building structure throughout design of the first phase of the project. Thornton Tomasetti worked within the design management team’s Jeddah office to provide immediate quality control assistance, including review of structural design submissions for technical compliance with contract documents, verification that coordination between various design teams has been completed, monitoring of design progress versus project program, and liaising between design and construction teams.

Phase 1 includes construction of a new 766,000-square-meter terminal building with lightweight roof structure and transparent façade, an air traffic control tower, utility load centers, parking structures, a railway station, data centers, a mosque, and supporting facilities, including a main rescue and fire fighting facility. This project phase will provide capacity for 30 million passengers per year.

The new terminal, servicing both international and domestic flights, will include a central garden, a hotel, retail areas, and lounges. Parking will be available for 5,700 vehicles, and a new train station will provide a railway linking the airport to Jeddah and Mecca. At 136 meters, the new air traffic control tower will be the tallest in the world.

Award Platinum Award 2010 in the Category of Transportation, ACEC New York Engineering Excellence Awards The International Architecture Award 2010, The Chicago Athenaeum/Europe

The Carrasco International Airport in Uruguay, the largest airport in the country, is expected to serve up to 2.8 million passengers by 2010. The new 344,000-square-foot, three-story terminal is a dramatic and welcoming space for the passengers and visitors. The terminal aims to modernize and expand the passenger and cargo handling capacity of the existing facilities to promote tourism and commercial growth in the surrounding region.

Thornton Tomasetti was responsible for the structural design of the terminal’s 1,000-foot-long curved steel roof structure. The curved roof maintains a low profile on the landscape, helping its structure integrate into the surrounding. The unique roof extends beyond the building on all four sides. The curved roof has an irregular plan profile with the width varying from 415 feet to 165 feet. In addition, the steel-truss roof has an irregular vertical profile with its two ends supported on grade and the height of the roof varies from 85 feet to 120 feet. The cantilevered roof facilitates the strategic use of daylighting for the terminal building by creating shading for the interior space.

The 60-foot-high fully glazed curtain wall system extending from the base to the roof wraps around the terminal building, creating transparency. In response to the challenge of providing draining for the large roof area, two gutters, one at each cantilevered edge, was provided for the entire length of the roof to capture rainwater run-off for the huge roof area.

Thornton Tomasetti provided consulting services to the design team and project architect for the exterior curtain wall system for the Automated People Mover at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Composed of structural steel trusses, the back-up system has vertical spans that reach up to 60 feet.The steel trusses are constructed from steel pipes for both vertical and diagonal members. Custom connections were required to accommodate the support of the freestanding curved roof also supported by the trusses.

Thornton Tomasetti also provided curtain wall consulting services to the architect for the design and analytical review of the custom curtain wall. The coordination between curtain wall support details, anticipated wind movements, and deflection of the supporting floor structure was especially challenging.

The renovated Terminal 2 serves as the new home for San Francisco-based American Airlines and Virgin America. One of the first LEED Gold terminals in the United States, the 600,000-square-foot-plus modernization sets a new standard for travel. Simon & Associates, acquired by Thornton Tomasetti in December 2012, was the LEED consultant on the project.

The project includes skylights and clerestories that bring daylight into the lobby and retail areas, significantly reducing electric lighting requirements during the day. An innovative displacement ventilation system uses filtered air to improve indoor air quality and reduces energy consumption by 20 percent. Sustainable building materials include terrazzo flooring with recycled glass chips and recycled-content carpet. The innovative and efficient use of structural steel led to a reduction in materials and allowed more than 90 percent of construction waste to be successfully recycled. The selected plumbing fixtures reduce potable water usage by 40 percent, and innovative "hydration stations" allow passengers to refill water bottles, reducing both waste generation and the carbon footprint. The project includes a rainwater harvesting system that meets 100 percent of irrigation needs.

Originally constructed in 1954, the improved Terminal 2 surpasses the City and County of San Francisco’s sustainability goals for the renovation.

Newark Liberty International Airport International Air Cargo Center Buildings One and Two

Newark, New Jersey

Owner Port Authority of New York and New Jersey

Client Airis Development Corp.

Completion Date 1999

Construction Cost $35 million

Total Area 191,000 sf (Building 1) 78,500 sf (Building 2)

Award Honorable Mention Award, American Concrete Institute, 1998

The International Air Cargo Center (IACC) at Newark Liberty International Airport is designed with built-in flexibility to offer the type of warehouse and office space required to meet each individual carrier’s handling system and service standards. Building One is a 191,000-square-foot structure that includes 164,000 square feet of general warehouse area, 27,000 square feet of related office space and an elevated transport vehicular (ETV) material handling system. Building Two is composed of a 78,500-square-foot multitenant warehouse space with a 16,000-square-foot mezzanine office space. The IACC complex was planned and constructed using a design-build delivery method as a Class-A structure providing a 50-year service life. Consequently, the materials used will endure the rigors of prolonged use while providing initial and life-cycle economies. Thornton Tomasetti was retained to provide complete architectural and engineering services. Scope included site work encompassing 24 acres.

The cargo bay features a 6.5-inch-thick unreinforced concrete slab on grade and ground floor slabs that were placed using an alternating strip-cast method with “sof” sawed cut control joints. All concrete used for foundation pile caps, grade beams and slabs have a minimum compressive strength of 4,000 psi.

The building’s exterior is constructed with precast post-tensioned concrete wall panels providing two distinct designs – an understated horizontal banding for the air and land sides of the cargo house and an ornamental, modulated façade design for the office portions. The exterior wall design also provides the required vehicular impact criteria for the cargo house. The selection of the panelized concrete exterior wall was a critical factor in maintaining durability and flexibility as well as minimizing the construction schedule for the fast-track project.
