Kansas City International Airport Terminal Modernization

The new Kansas City International Airport Terminal replaced an aging and outdated three terminal design with a more efficient single terminal featuring updated amenities and technology. As part of the design-build team entrusted with delivering the largest single infrastructure project in Kansas City’s history, TREKK provided traditional and survey LiDAR and civil site design for various aspects of the $1.5 billion project. 

Our survey and LiDAR teams provided survey data in preparation for the design-build project. TREKK used terrestrial mobile LiDAR and 360-degree imaging to collect survey grade data on both sides of the security fences at KCI, including pavement surfaces, markings, lighting, utilities such as manhole lids, inlets and valve boxes, and joint lines in the general areas where the design pavement meets existing pavement and aprons to the parking garages. From this data, we created a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) surface drawing, showing an outline of the terminals.  

TREKK continued providing additional survey and civil site design services during the new terminal construction. We were responsible for the striping of all airside locations, including vehicle service roads, gates and terminals. 

TREKK also provided civil design, including design of stormwater and storm pipes, pavement, curb and gutter and electrical and communications utility routing, for the centralized glycol distribution and de-icing areas, ground service equipment storage and fueling island. For the glycol distribution area, we inventoried what each airline used for storage and distribution and created a centralized location with mixers that can be adjusted to meet each airline’s needs.
