Project Description:
The King Khaled International Airport is currently undergoing a large development and expansion program that aims at increasing capacity in the near future. Serving the city of Riyadh, it is the second biggest airport in Saudi Arabia, after Jeddah Airport. Some 20 million passengers per year travel through the airport and the current expansion program will extend capacity to 35 million. As part of this program, the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has awarded Almabani General Contractor the contract for the design and construction of the required enhancements. Egis was nominated as design consultant of Almabani. For the first time in the airport infrastructure domain Egis will perform the full design under the BIM (Building Information Modeling) concept. Egis will also provide full technical support during construction. The scope of works for this project covers the following airside facilities: new taxiways; new cargo apron; rehabilitation of existing taxiways; extension of the existing fuel line; and miscellaneous drainage improvements.
Scope Description:
The new parking stands shall be equipped with new fuel hydrants. The existing two main fuel feeder lines, 24” each, crossing this apron shall be removed. Phasing of this removal needs to be coordinated with the installation of the new main lines such that disturbance of normal operations will be minimized. Continuous supply of fuel from jet fuel lines to airport facilities must be maintained at all times. The new 24 inch dual, flow and return, main fuel lines inclusive of chambers and valves, complete with blank flange connections for the Terminal fuel loops shall be installed inclusive of all connections to existing intake (landside) and output (airside) points such as to ensure a complete and compatible jet fuel system.

Project Description:
Thirty years after designing King Khalid International Airport (KKIA), HOK has been nominated the design team leader for the expansion of Terminals 3 and 4.This expansion will enable the airport to meet increasing demand and support the country’s growing economy. As with the original airport, the design creates a strong sense of place and a passenger-friendly terminal welcoming each traveler as an important guest to Riyadh. When HOK designed the four terminal buildings in the 1980s, one was left as an empty building shell. The design brief for the current project was to integrate and extend Terminals 3 and 4 as an infill development that complements and enhances the existing airport while accommodating 17.5 million passengers per year. The project also introduces a central processor building and three new piers with 24 gates. The integrated design solution responds to Riyadh’s culture while providing memorable spaces. The hexagonal roof form and triangular organization of the original buildings guided the design. By basing the plan on the original module size, the team designed a seamless intervention with no clear distinction between old and new. Sustainable strategies include replacing the existing terminals’ external cladding with a high-performance facade system and upgrading infrastructure with two new energy centers. An integrated BIM strategy allows the entire design team to rationalize and coordinate the process throughout construction. The facilities are being refurbished in two phases to allow the existing airport operations to function at capacity during construction.
The Fuel Network Scope consists of the design, supply and installation of the extension of the hydrant refueling system to serve the apron layout of terminal 3 & 4. Four new hydrant loops will be installed and connected to existing fuel mains installed during phase 1A located between Taxiway G and new aprons at the north end.

Scope of Work:
- Engineering, Procurement, Construction & Commissioning (EPCC) of the new Fuel Hydrant System.
- Supply & Install of Jet A1-fuel Hydrant System Network and hydrants comprising of API standard hydrant pits, under hydrant valves and hydrant valves, double Block & Bleed (DB&B) valves.
