In 2017 CCC and AECON signed a government to government (G2G) contract to redevelop the L.F. Wade International Airport in Bermuda. It was completed on time and on budget and opened in 2020.
This award-winning project is an example of climate adaptation and resilience from multiple angles. It uses LED lighting inside the terminal and on the airfields. The terminal is designed specifically to minimize lighting and cooling by allowing natural light to enter the terminal, while minimizing radiant and conductive heat transfers reducing the amount of lighting and air conditioning required.
A building automation system automatically adjusts the air flows and intake of outdoor air in response to the actual occupancy in any given zone, significantly reducing energy consumption and cooling.
There’s a new wastewater treatment system that enhances gray water recycling the treated water is recycled back in the
terminal and used in separate non-potable water systems that serves in terminal washrooms.
To address the risk of sea-level rise over time or the risk of floods through ocean storm surges during the hurricane season the airport
was relocated inland about 9 ft higher than the old terminal. The
construction of the terminal used materials to ensure that it can
withstand wind speeds of 277 km an hour equivalent to a category 5 hurricane.
