Strenghtening of the AICM Structure
Project Status: Completed
Project Year: 2020
Use: Airport
Client: Federal Government
Area: 746 ha
Location: Mexico City
Construction: Taller A, MACYE
An Executive Project was developed for the restructuring and reinforcement of the buildings and their foundations. This ensured the proper behavior of the buildings in both the short and long term, in accordance with the minimum specifications outlined in the Construction Regulation for the Federal District and its Complementary Technical Norms, as well as other relevant regulations. The project involved specialized geotechnical and structural works to execute reinforcement, restructuring, recycling, or demolition projects necessary for the stability and durability of Terminals 1 and 2 of the AICM.
Throughout this project, topographic surveys were conducted on all structures and facilities within Terminals 1 and 2 of the AICM. The verticality of the buildings was assessed at each corner and important intermediate points, and leveling procedures were carried out to identify the trend of differential subsidence for each structure. Additionally, topographic surveys of the terrain within the established study area polygon, spanning from Peñón de los Baños to the structures of Terminal 1 and Runway 5 left of the AICM, were conducted.
A detailed post-seismic inspection of structural safety was conducted to assess the current state of the facilities. This inspection, endorsed by CSE and DRO, aimed to provide a preliminary opinion on the habitability of the structures and gather essential data for their restructuring.
