Schiphol has awarded the definitive contract for the completion of its A Pier to BAM Bouw en Techniek. BAM will start in September. The new pier will be the most sustainable at the airport'.
design a-pier
The architectural and interior design of the A-pier were made by cepezed and cepezedinterieur within the total engineering team of AECOM. The new pier is characterized by a high degree of spaciousness, an abundance of natural light and long sightlines. An ambitious sustainability and a rich diversity of pleasant sitting places and customer facilities also contribute to the pier's character.
mini terminal
The new pier will have characteristics of a terminal, such as security filters, border control, shops and catering. In addition, the pier will consist of three floors. The three floors are necessary to separate travellers with different border and security status. As a result, the pier can be used for a wide range of destinations and airlines, both Schengen and non-Schengen, according to Schiphol.
most sustainable pier
The new pier will be the most sustainable at Schiphol, thanks to design elements such as biomaterial, insulating glass, and reusable plastic and marble rubblework tiles. The pier will also feature 5,000 m2 of solar panels and use rainwater to flush the toilets, Schiphol writes in a press release.
