Philadelphia International Airport Lift Station Upgrades

Milhouse was responsible for upgrading 13 Lift Stations for the Philadelphia International Airport, which included performing detailed surveys to calculate the current capacities of 20-25 year old Lift Stations.

Even with the challenge of not having existing data and as-built drawings available, each lift station’s design was upgraded with new larger, and more efficient pumps, with new pumps selected with the capability to interlock with any one of the two existing BMS systems.

Areas of work also encompassed the following:
» Airfield Systems: Navigational aides, lighting systems, signage, power distribution systems, emergency power systems, signaling, airfield lighting control systems (ALCS), communication systems, Surface Movement and Guidance Controls System (SMGCS), grounding and utility distribution.
» Terminal Facilities: Building management systems such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning (HVAC), including thermal plants and chilled and hot water systems, plumbing, sanitary, power distributions, communications, fire protection, life and safety emergency systems & lighting.
» Site Utilities: Distribution of water, gas, sanitary, power, telephone, Universal Cabling Distribution System (UCDS), communications including manhole and duct design, roadway lighting, sign lighting, traffic signals.
