The design services for this Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (HJAIA) South Parking Deck project was provided directly by HKS and outside the J-V On-Call Design Services agreement. This project included engineering design services for mechanical, engineering, plumbing, and fire protection, as well as contract administration services and oversight of engineering sub-consultants for constructing a new parking deck (SD1).

This project is currently in the Design Development phase with Issued for Construction (IFC) documents due December 2023. The parking deck is for covered and economy surface parking, holding approximately 6,600 and 1,510 vehicles, respectively.

Electrical services include new service entrance, power distribution equipment, emergency and optional standby systems, standby generator sized for the entire SD1, and EV charging preparation for 990 electric vehicles. Additionally, SSOE provided oversight and peer review of the sub-consultant’s fire alarm design.

Mechanical and plumbing / fire protection services include oversight and peer review of the engineering sub-consultant’s design.

SSOE provided Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Fire Protection Engineering design services as a subconsultant to Turner Associates for the Concourse E addition to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta
International Airport. The addition of Concourse E added 24 gates, plus 9 remote, 33 gates which were dedicated for international or domestic flights or mixed use and complete federal inspection services.

The Concourse E Central Refrigeration Plant consists of four electric centrifugal chillers producing 5000 tons of chilled water. The system is designed for expansion capabilities to install an additional 5,000 tons. The Central Boiler Room consists of gas/oil fired hot water boilers. There are two 49125 MBH boilers and one 22375 MBH boiler. The Electrical Design included a life cycle cost analysis and determination of pay back for a parallel cogeneration system for Concourse E. The design includes provisions for four additional generators. This system will also function as the emergency power system. The Concourse E distribution system includes 4160v distribution to seven double-ended unit substations. Tenant work will add another substation. Utilization voltages include 4160v for chillers, 480v for motors, 277v and 120v for lighting and miscellaneous power.

SSOE worked with Delta Air Lines on the renovations to its administrative headquarters lobby and café.

Enhancing Delta’s Brand & Image

Creating an exciting and inspiring first impression for visitors, a space for employees to recharge, and a place to celebrate the heritage of a great company were several goals of the lobby and Woolman Café renovation project. The project supports Delta Air Lines in employee recruitment and retention while drastically enhancing its brand and image. By incorporating natural lighting, furniture selection, finishes and materials, artwork, lighting, and graphics, the newly renovated lobby / café spaces accommodate five services brands, doubled the seating capacity, and demonstrates Delta’s story in a sophisticated and progressive design.

New Hub of Collaboration

The lobby and café work together to create a new employee hub for collaboration, technology, and mobility as well as access to employee amenities including a clinic, fitness center, pharmacy, meeting rooms, and central elevator core for the building. While the lobby addressed Delta’s story, heritage, and visitor reception, the café’s vision is a positive influence on all who encounter the Delta community. The design is fresh, lively, honest, and unexpectedly fun.

Thoughtful & Energized Environment

Converting the existing spaces into this thoughtful, energized environment was no easy task requiring coordination with existing building infrastructure, systems, kitchens, elevators, life safety stairs, and exits. Opening existing exterior walls with large clear windows provides views to the organization’s bustling corporate campus.

Re-Purposing The “Queen Of The Fleet”

Continuing in its mission and vision to develop a world-class museum and visitor experience, one that shares Delta Air Lines’ aviation history with the world, Delta Flight Museum acquired Ship 6301, N661US, the first Boeing 747-400 ever built, to support its ongoing goals and objectives. Ship 6301, also known as the “Queen of the Fleet,” having logged more than 86 million miles, was turned into a multipurpose extension of the existing museum, a facility that now includes event space, filming support, and interpretive exhibits.

Extensive Master Planning

The siting of the 747-400 required extensive master planning taking into account the airframe’s 232-foot length, 211-foot wingspan, and the existing museum’s facilities, which are located in the heart of the Delta Air Lines’ corporate headquarters. The stature of the aircraft was utilized to create a highly visible entrance to the entire museum with plazas underwing for shading, access to the underside of the aircraft, and other visitor amenities. Providing an engaging and educational venue was the primary goal of the Delta Flight Museum.

A Basic Planning Concept

The basic planning concept preserved the forward half of the aircraft in an almost existing state. This area was also modified to allow camera tracks and rigging for filming. Guests have access to lay flat seating, galleys, and flight attendant support areas. The back half of the aircraft was stripped of all seating creating a highly flexible multipurpose event space with interpretive panels and graphics. Additionally, all of the interior wall panels were removed exposing the structural, and M/E/P systems of the aircraft. Floor panels were replaced with structural glass flooring allowing for views into the cargo bays and inside the wings. Spot and accent lighting carefully illuminate exhibits and interpretive panels.

Iconic Upper-Level Area

The unique and iconic upper-level seating area was also left in its original condition. Access is also provided to the flight crew sleeping quarters and the flight deck cockpit, where one can imagine steering the aircraft from 35 feet off the tarmac.
