Scope and Limits

This project will conduct rooftop repairs and replace ten (10) roof top HVAC units, five (5) air handling units, and two (2) boiler units.

Background

After conducting a thorough roof feasibility assessment along the pedestrian concourse between Garages A & B, the engineering services contractor recommended replacement of all ten (10) rooftop HVAC units, five (5) air handling units, and two (2) boiler units.  Dallas Love Field was upgraded to include construction of the pedestrian concourse with a rooftop in 2004. Over the last ten years, it has experienced significant water filtration issues.

Safety

Dallas Love Field Airport infrastructure projects are critical to ensure the facilities are safe for its occupants, in good condition, and meet current standards. The project will repair existing water leaks originating from the roof top, and it will upgrade climate control air handling performance of the facility.  Fixing the roof mitigates the following: growth of mold and mildew; compromised foundation levels; damage to drywall causing it to sag, buckle or fall apart; energy inefficiencies; and potential fire hazards. Additionally, the project will reduce HVAC maintenance cost. 

Purpose

The project will repair existing water leaks originating from the rooftop, upgrade climate control air handling performance of the facility, and upgrade ten (10) rooftop HVAC units; five (5) air handling units; and two (2) boiler units.

Improvements

The project will demolish and install ten (10) rooftop HVAC units; two (2) boiler units, and five (5) air handling units. The responsible contractor will also complete roof layer repairs and replacement. 

Environmental

There may be increased air and noise pollution, landfill waste, exposure to building materials, and construction waste. 

Traffic

There may be significant foot traffic delays to passengers using alternate wayfinding needing access to Garages A & B. Decreased performance in seasonal air cooling and heating are projected. There will be additional required construction inspections by airport staff (security, capital, and landside operations). There may be space constraints caused by construction material staging areas.
