LAX Bradley West Core & Terminal Expansion

Our engineering team provided multidisciplinary engineering services for the new 1,500,000 SF Bradley West and Core Terminal Expansion project. The new gates on the west side of the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) are now capable of serving the needs of the larger, transoceanic aircraft increasingly sought by international carriers. Related to the new concourse development, enabling projects were completed that included relocating existing taxiways, adding and extending other taxiways, aircraft bridges, terminal and overnight parking aprons, a utilities master plan, and the relocation of an existing aircraft rescue and firefighting station and passenger bus terminal.

The dynamic new design for LAX is inspired by the Pacific Ocean on LAX’s west side, with rooftops flowing as rhythmic waves breaking on the shore. Flat-seam stainless steel stretches over the column-free structure, creating an architectural vocabulary that unifies the entire airport with a cohesive theme.
