Projects under construction:

1. Piers C and E and their connectors: these piers are the new departure lounges for the new west international terminal. For his implementation, the first step is the demolition of the asphalt and concrete pavements. The pier C will have an area of 23.350 m ² and the pier E 18.090 m ². With them we will be able to construct 22 boarding gates. The pier E will be exclusively for international departures whereas the pier C will have the choice to also operate national flights due to his strategic location, which is between the old and the new terminal. The change of use will be realized according to seasonal and hourly requirements. At the same time, we will construct the connector to join the piers with the current terminal.

2. Improvements in the current terminal: improvements in AVSEC security control of the national departures and international arrives. Two different accesses will be constructed in each side of the arrives lounge hall, one of it for preferential use such as limited mobility people, pregnant women, old people and airport employees and the other one for the rest of the people. When this improvements end the process for passengers in their arrival would be: duty free – baggage belt – SAG (Customs).

3. Remoted safe-keeping car park: the earth’s removal labor and the solid material fill process still continues for the future surface car park which will provide more than 900 positions. From this place there will be a free shuttle bus available every 10 to 15 minutes to transport passengers to and from the terminal.

4. International terminal car park: about 1.900 surface spots will be constructed in front of the new international terminal. The current employee’s car park is going to be relocated on the south part of the same central sector. There would also be shuttle buses which will make an internal route through the airport.

5. Partial interventions in the Short and Mid Stay Car Park: partial works to improve  the duct system. Also new east and west car park exits.

6. Thermal plant, electrical substation and technical gallery: extension of the current thermal plant and of the electrical substation. The thermal plant is in charge of generating cold and warm water to feed the air conditioning equipments of the current and the new international terminal. In the other hand, the technical gallery makes the connection to distribute the electric power and it also has generators to produce electricity in peak hours or to serve as back-up. The electrical substation is for the current terminal and would be expanded to supply the new international terminal. During the execution of the works a minor number of spots for car park will be eliminated at the Short Stay Car Park.

7. Telecommunication center: this consists on a court of telecommunications antennas that give service to users of the current and the new terminal. When it becomes operational the existing one will be eliminated, therefore it is not going to generate inconveniences for passengers.

8. Colector C: a drainage water collector located in Avenida Armando Cortinez Oriente.

9. West Taxiway (PAPA): new taxiway parallel to the runway 17R-35L with connection to the west platform and the taxiway Zulu. These works will allow better and faster aircraft movements. The PAPA measures will be of approximately 3 thousand meters of length and 25 meters of width.

10.  West taxiways (DAP): extension of the Zulu taxiway parallel to the runway 17R-35L. New area which will make it easier for airplanes to move from the runway towards the platform. West taxiways are also being extended due to the extension of the same sector platform, improving the flow of the aircrafts.

11. Runway preservation (DAP): routinary maintenance of the asphalt taxiway from the south sector of the runway 17R-35L to the taxiway Uniform in his north side. The runway 17R-35L will be closed during the works execution (25 days) so the runway that will be in use is the 17L-35R. Consequently, in the schedule peak time of national flights (07:00-09:00) there will be more wait time for aircrafts to take-off.

12. Fuel system of west platform (SIAV): a system to supply fuel to the new aircraft parkings on the west platform.

Aditional works taking place:

13. Provisional South Car Park: works still continue to enable a temporary car park of approximately 1.100 spots in the entrance of the airport. From this place there will be a free shuttle bus available every 10 to 15 minutes to transport passengers to and from the terminal.

14. Provisional North Car Park: works still continue for a new provisional car park located in the north-east airport sector with a capacity for approximately 170 new places. From this place there will be a free shuttle bus available every 10 to 15 minutes to transport passengers to and from the terminal.

15. Collector B: the principal function is to conduct the rain water of the new buildings on the central part of the airport and on the extension of the west platform to evacuate water in the south airport side. It will have a length of approximately 1 kilometre.

16.  West Platform Complement (B06 e Isla A): on 22 nd of December the Island A will be operative, which is a platform complement to park airplanes and mitigate the temporary closing of the western platform. From that date five aircraft code C will be able to park, these are those which enter in the range from 24 to 36 meters and when the complement B06 becomes operative on 15th of Februart, the quantity will increase to seven spots. It will have an area of 1.800 m2. The parking will have load fuel and lighting systems, and his location will diminish the times of remote loading passengers since the distance will be shorter.

17. South-Western Warehouse: the new warehouse will have an approximately surface of 15.000m ² and will give place to the postcard, handling, maintenance and storehouse services. The airport operators displacement will be specifically owed for the east piers works and their respective new international terminal connectors.

18. Improvements on the Eastern Load Sector: improvement in the traffic flow and an expansion of the trucks and emplyees spots for parking during the high season of fruit exportation.

PHASE ONE

Projects under construction:

1. Temporary Car Park, south side: The first phase contemplates the creation of a new car park area to ensure that the current number of parking spaces remains constant and at the same time accommodate construction needs. The 32,000 m2 space located by the main airport access area saw topsoil removal works and will be subsequently filled with solid material to convert it to a car park which will be able to accommodate approximately 1,100 vehicles. Nuevo Pudahuel is committed to offer a number of parking spaces similar or higher to the amount that was available before the construction works began, and thus contain the impact that the expansion works might have on the car park. A free shuttle bus will be available every 10 to 15 minutes to transport passengers to and from the terminal.

2. Remote Long Stay Car Park: Preliminary works for a new car park with capacity for 900 vehicles are due to commence in the south-west area of the airport compound, the first phase will consider soil removal and solid material filling. A free shuttle bus will be available every 10 to 15 minutes to transport passengers to and from the terminal. The completion of this structure might generate minimum waiting times due to a traffic light located by the intersection next to the concrete plant.

3. Temporary North Car Park: Expansion of the EOTC car park in the northeastern area of the airport compound, with a capacity of approximately 170 spots. A free shuttle bus will be available every 10 to 15 minutes to transport passengers to and from the terminal.

Demolitions:

4. Skychef y Transvip:  The first constructions are the Skychef and Transvip buildings, which will take up 8.164 m2. The works will be realized by the CJV construction company, and it will have an approximate duration of two months. In the activities of demolition there are contemplated the retirement of two sheds of metallic structures, the metallic closures, inner doors of sliding panels and of drifting, and they will all be sent to the Aeronautical Civil General Direction (DGAC) to be re-used. The materials product of the works will be demolished and sent to an autorized rubbish dump. These works will not cause any interference in the traffic routes of East and West Armando.
