Ready for Take Off

Airport design is characterized by constant and rapid change. Integral Group carries a reputation for creating awardwinning facilities that meet the demands of today’s changing traveling public, addressing each airport authorities’ business objectives while creating a comfortable environment for the airline’s passengers.

Integral Group brings engineering, commissioning, and sustainability leadership to airport projects, including new terminals, expansions, renovations, and master plans. With several airport terminal projects to our credit, our depth enables us to deliver airport projects to a global level of engineering excellence.

MEP Design

We are leaders in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design for critical environments:

• Radiant heating and cooling systems; use of chilled beams; efficient outside air systems eliminating reheat; low-pressure drop systems • Power distribution; lighting and lighting controls; fire detection and alarm; public address; master clock; telephone and data systems; renewable energy sources • Specification and use of lowflow fixtures, rainwater, grey and black water systems; domestic hot and cold water and wastewater systems; non-potable water system design; grease interceptors and waste systems

Design Analytics

We elevate the perception of what’s possible in the built environment through a datadriven approach to design and engineering, giving our clients the confidence to take bold action.

By providing design teams with comprehensive analysis supported by empirical modeling, we empower real decision-making around high performance system selection, building enclosure performance, lighting and external solar shading integration, indoor and outdoor environmental conditions, and most importantly, occupant health and well-being.

Climate Resilience

Climate change is already affecting our environment, contributing to temperature extremes, poor air quality, prolonged drought, increased rainfall intensity, rising sea levels, and habitat shifts. Our buildings, infrastructure, and behaviors will need to adapt. We advise airports on safeguarding existing buildings and implementing strategies for future development that can thrive under any number of future climate scenarios. We provide integrated conceptual and schematic design of advanced energy infrastructure, financial analysis and strategies, and project and procurement support.

Soft Landings

Our extensive experience in operational readiness and airport transfer supports coherent and distinctive engineering design through comprehensive commissioning methodology, providing passengers and the general public with an enjoyable travel experience. We have extensive experience in the robust commissioning processes to validate performance in the aviation sector and approach it with clear communication, transparency throughout the process, leveraging our design expertise throughout a collaborative review process and disseminating all documentation with sufficient time to review and integrate commentary by all engaged.

Sustainability

In our work across complex airport projects, we recognize the demand for a flexible and attainable sustainability strategy that benefits both the operators of the facility, the passengers using the terminal, the local environment, and the larger global climate. As a way of helping airports develop their considerations for the future, Integral has expertise and experience in developing comprehensive sustainability plans specifically tailored to the airport’s needs. We work as an integrated member of the design team to develop a set of considerate and attainable golas and practices that deliver quantifiable benefits.
