Water Storage System Design FOR THE TURKISH AIRLINES' NEW ISTANBUL AIRPORT IN TURKEY

摘要

WHEN THE Government of Turkey made a bullish announcement to construct the world's largest airport 30 kms away from the present Ataturk airport, it was incomprehensible for most of the architects and engineers to visualize such a mammoth project. The project is spread over 167 hectares with capacity to accommodate 150 PEX (million passengers per year) and that presented several challenges to architects and engineering company. Ghafari Associate LLC already had made big strides in designing complex airport systems around the world from Columbia, USA, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, China, Nicaragua, Philippines and India, but nobody had designed an airport of this magnitude and complexity.
