Train Modification Feasibility Study

Summary:

This project involved a comprehensive study of an expansion concept for the Denver International Airport (DEN) Automated Guideway Transit System (AGTS), focusing on a new loop train extension to enhance capacity and connectivity. The proposed loop incorporates both below-grade and elevated sections, introducing unique design and construction challenges.

The study addressed key elements such as structural modifications to route train tunnels beneath the existing terminal, potential impacts to concourse structures, the design of new platforms and circulation paths, and installation strategies for the new loop alignment. JRH focused on structural feasibility, with an emphasis on maintaining AGTS operations, apron traffic, and utility services throughout construction. operations, apron functionality, and utility services throughout construction.
