Portland Jetport Canopy Structures, Portland, ME

With a desire to provide greater passenger security and comfort, passenger unloading areas were covered by an elaborate system of canopies.

Exposed steel tubular trusses support cantilevered canopies to shelter pedestrian drop-off areas along the main terminals. Two arched trusses span to the parking garage to further shelter pedestrians as they access the parking garage. The project was expanded to include additional canopies over a new 90 ft. expansion of the baggage claim area. BSE was also retained by the city to provide special inspection field review services for the Jetport garage expansion. Our work was performed in accordance with requirements of 1999 BOCA National Building Code Section 1705.

BSE was responsible for detailed site review of contruction for conformance with design documents, identification of non-conforming work and liason between contractor, owner and EOR for resolution of issues. Our scope also includes coordination and oversight of material testing labs, collection of data and issuance of monthly project reports to code officer, owner and designers.
