3DREID APPOINTED TO DEVELOP MASTERPLAN FOR NEW SÃO PAULO BUSINESS AIRPORT
The firms behind Brazil’s planned Novo Aeroporto Executive have appointed 3DReid to oversee the masterplan for the new international business airport.
The private airport in the city of São Roque, São Paulo, will comprise two runways, one to the north for international flights, and the other to the south for domestic operations.
In addition there will be a phased provision of apron accommodation, an international VIP terminal and integrated ATC tower, an international VIP terminal, domestic fixed base operator (FBO), fire and rescue facilities, data centre and other ancillary buildings.
The scheme will sit on seven million square metres of land reclaimed from a former paper mill on a hillside in São Roque, 38 miles from São Paulo.
The project will involve moving approximately 16 million cubic metres of earth to form the runway and apron plates.
This is due to the challenging topography where the range between the lowest valley and highest peak is around 160 metres.
3DReid’s director of transport, Peter Farmer, said: “This project presents a fantastic opportunity to develop a truly world class business aviation facility. This airport will serve one of the world's fastest growing economies.”
Novo Aeroporto Executive is a partnership between CFly Aviation and Brazilian developer JHSF.
The first phase of the airport is due to be operational in time for the Football World Cup, in June 2014.
