MCO South Terminal C Aircraft Fueling System
TYLin designed a new aircraft fueling system for the new South Terminal C at Orlando International Airport (MCO) in Florida.
The new South Terminal C was part of a major expansion program at MCO. TYLin's design included more than 10,000 linear feet of double-walled underground jet fuel piping with a leak detection system. Pipe sections crossing new and existing taxiways were installed using a micro-tunneling method. A new cathodic protection and an emergency fuel shut-off system were part of the design to enhance pipeline integrity and provide spill protection.
TYLin also provided construction administration services. The new terminal serves 10 to 20 million passengers per year.
Project Highlights:
- TYLin designed one control valve vault, seven isolation valve pits, 31 hydrant pits, and several high point vent and low point drain pits.
- The project included 6,000 linear feet of twin 14"/18"∅, 4,100 linear feet of 12"/16"∅ , and 650 linear feet of 6"/10"∅ underground jet fuel piping.
- The project included the installation of two new 1,000-gpm hydrant pumps and filter assemblies.
