The 150 foot-long two-span structural steel pedestrian bridge will connect the new Building H to the existing flight training campus. By allowing a shorter path to and from the new building, the pedestrian bridge will help create efficient occupant flow and provide a weather-free path throughout the complex. Pre-fabricated structural steel trusses were selected for ease of fabrication and erection. Field-bolted splices were chosen to help maintain the tight construction schedule and to allow easier field fit-up. Additionally, prefabricated wall panels were implemented to save additional construction schedule.
Project Highlights
new design-build expansion to the United Airlines Flight Training Center (FTC)
already the largest of its kind in the world, the facility will serve a critical role in United Airlines’ goal of hiring an additional 10,000 pilots by 2030
