Planned, Collapsed Terminals Featured at Peer Review
Marc Noyelle, executive director and chief development officer for Aeroports de Paris, briefed the group of about 30 U.S. and Canadian airport officials on the status of the Charles de Gaulle Airport concourse. The steel-tensioned arched concrete structures collapsed portion supported three pedestrian bridges connecting the main building and concourse to a boarding area. Investigations and clean-up continue, Noyelle said.
The collapse of the section 30 months after completion killed four people. A preliminary report said external tubular steel struts punctured the roof and likely triggered the collapse (ENR 7/12, p. 10).
