Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport CONRAC

A customer service center and automated people mover station, as well as the site electrical and security systems for the consolidated rental car facility serving ten rental car companies. The overall project includes two parking decks for 8,800 cars totaling 2,800,000 square feet, fueling facilities with 140 gas dispensers, wash facilities with thirty bays, and surface parking.

Audio-Visual

Systems include background music and paging systems.

Communications

Voice and data cabling, flight information display screens, network, IP telephony, and communications site distribution.

Security

Emergency communications and video surveillance systems, as well as connectivity to expand the airport’s systems to this new parking facility, and outfitting several stations of the rapid rail system connecting the CONRAC to the airport so that they communicate via the same fiber optic communication trunks.

Lighting

Interior lighting design and daylighting analysis for the four story customer service center, including a daylight harvesting lighting control system. State-of-the-art software enabled modeling of public space lighting allowing the materials, finishes, and building geometry to be highlighted. Due to the facility’s need to operate 24 hours a day, the lighting design includes highly efficient luminaires and light sources, as well as occupancy and photo sensors to reduce energy costs.
