Luxemburg Airport

After approximately four years of construction, the new Terminal A at Luxembourg International Airport was inaugurated in spring 2008. The new terminal is designed to handle more than three million passengers per year. To meet the logistical requirements of the higher passenger numbers, two new underground car parks were completed at the same time. The new underground car park offers 4,000 parking spaces on four floors, each measuring 30,000 m². The visual concept is unusual. There are no dark alcoves, but bright walls on all levels. The deliberate use of colour makes the building friendly and helps visitors find their way around. The four levels differ only in their colour scheme; their floor plans are identical. All fire protection closures had to be integrated into a visual colour concept: the four car park levels are marked in yellow, green, red and blue. 

A four-storey underground car park places high demands on fire protection. When planning the passageways and closures, preventive fire and smoke protection and the securing of escape and rescue routes have the highest priority. Fire protection measures must counteract the outbreak and spread of fire and limit smoke development locally. In close cooperation with planners and developers, a customised solution was implemented that met all safety and comfort requirements. T90 Feuer- und Rauchschutztüren für stark frequentierte Durchgänge und Abschlüsse besonders brandlastiger Räume. Galerie und Fluchtwege zwischen den Brandabschnitten erhielten 1- und 2-flügelige T30-Türen mit Rundverglasungen. Die Zufahrten der einzelnen Geschosse wurden mit Feuerschutztoren ausgestattet. Das vielseitige Türen- und Toreprogramm deckt alle Arten von Feuer- und Rauchschutzabschlüssen ab. Flexible Fertigungskapazitäten ermöglichen schnelle Reaktionszeiten, auch bei engen Terminen. So konnten die 300 Feuerschutztüren und 52 Feuerschutztore innerhalb kürzester Zeit geliefert werden.
