As high-profile/high-use public facilities, airports must function effectively 24/7 under widely fluctuating occupancy and security scenarios, and must be able to maintain operation in adverse weather conditions. Systems require built-in flexibility to support expansion and integrate with existing control and monitoring components. TLC addresses these airport demands by ensuring that:

• Central energy plant development is designed to meet current and projected future demands.
• Terminal building systems respond to airport operational considerations.
• Electrical interface designs for security, master clock, BIDS/FIDS, signage and baggage handling are coordinated with specialty consultants.
• Adequate lightning protection and grounding systems are engineered to protect critical electronic information systems.
• Special power requirements support the facility’s transformers at the loading bridges.
• Stringent Federal FIS processing guidelines are met at international gates.
• Lighting design of the apron provides appropriate illumination to accommodate vehicular and loading operations while not interfering with safe aircraft movement.

We are a leader in the unique analysis and design of Pre-Conditioned Air (PCA) systems and have engineered these aircraft cooling systems for local and international airports.

TLC approaches mass transit and cruise terminal projects, which include the ports of Miami and Canaveral, Central Florida Light Rail in Greater Orlando and the Tri-County Commuter Rail in South Florida, with thoughtful consideration of the budget, timeline and potential construction challenges. Our engineering professionals are familiar with permitting issues, as well as the applicable local, state and federal regulations of the Federal Transit Administration, Department of Homeland Security and Transportation Security Administration. And we work closely with our architecture and construction partners to provide cost-effective and energy-efficient system design.
