North Terminal Development
Argus Consulting was selected by American Airlines to work on it's North Terminal Development Program at Miami International Airport, Fla.

Concourse Reconstruction
The program consisted of reconstructing Concourses A, B, C and D into a contigious linear facility to satisfy A/A's operational requirements. This multi-year, multi-phased project began in 1998 and will continue through 2004.

Aircraft Hydrant Fueling System
An important aspect of this program was the inclusion of an aircraft hydrant fueling system, providing efficient into-plane fuel servicing. The fueling system project includes new piping, pits and controls for 47 A/A gate positions and 21 American Eagle gate positions. To keep American Airlines' daily operations at Miami International intact, construction of this project will be performed in a sequenced process requiring 14 phases.

Argus' Responsibilities
In addition to the development of construction documents, Argus performed a fuel supply analysis, computer-generated hydraulic surge analysis, operational analysis, gate planning studies, a master Phasing Schedule. Project issues such as subsurface investigations, environmental plans, storm water plans, dewatering plans, leak detection systems and double-wall piping systems will also be addresssed.
