HOUSTON — Across the county, Clark Construction is working with its aviation partners to build the infrastructure that improves efficiency and maximizes comfort and convenience for the travelers who take to the skies, including at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston.
IAH: Making an Entrance
At Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), the 500,000-square-foot Central Processor project – part of the Terminal B Transformation program – reimagines the passenger experience of United Airlines customers with controlled demolition of large, complex structures.
Clark says work at IAH kicked off this spring with the demolition of the pedestrian tube structures. The massive concrete tubes stood for decades as windowless pedestrian tunnels, ushering passengers from the original processor to their departing flight gates. Sandwiched between the ground-level North Terminal Road and the above-ground Skyway, the tubes passed within inches of the Skyway’s support columns, requiring selective and controlled demolition, Clark said in a news release.
Crews completed the work in coordinated phases with United and Houston Airport Systems to maintain all airport operations. The removal of these tubes makes way for a streamlined and welcoming entrance to the future Terminal B gates.
