This project relocated SFO Fire House No. 3 (FH3) and South Field Checkpoint (SFCP) within the Airport’s South Field area. The existing FH3 was a one-story facility that included six (6) apparatus bays. Complexities of the new location included adjacency to active taxiways and blast fences and a smaller footprint. The new facility reapportioned space to meet diverse staffing needs, specifically updated female to male ratios. FH3 access to both landside and the airfield was essential. SFCP serves as an entry/exit to and from the Airfield Operations Area from South McDonnell Road mainly for ground service, cargo, and construction traffic. The new location is directly adjacent to South McDonnell Road and the team had to ensure steady traffic flow on this main thoroughfare. All new facilities were upgraded to satisfy current building codes, sustainability requirements, and Airport design standards. This Project utilized a Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) delivery method.
