Milender White removed four (4) escalators at DEN that were quickly approaching their end of service life and installed four (4) new escalators to carry passengers from the Train Platform (AGTS) Level, past the Apron Level, and to the Concourse Level. In addition to the new escalators, extensive structural modifications were performed to allow for future expansion, doubling the current escalator capacity. Logistical challenges included limited access, constricted working conditions, work sequencing, and security constraints.
Minimized Impact on Airport Operations – The majority of the work was performed between 9:00pm and 5:00am to reduce impacts of noise, vibrations, odors, and dust on adjacent airport operations during busier daytime hours. All waste material was hauled out by way of Gate C42 and trucked to DIA’s recycling facility when possible.
