The new pier at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one step closer to completion. Now that the foundation has been laid, construction can now begin. It is expected to become operational by the end of 2019.
The pier, which will have eight gates, has been designed by AECOM – cepezed in collaboration with Imd, dGmR and Copijn.
It will feature five gates for narrow-body aircraft on the north side and three gates for wide-body aircraft on the south side. The gates on the south side can also be used to accommodate six narrow-body aircraft. Two wide-body gates will be added to the south side at a later stage.
Totalling 55,000 square metres, the new pier covers the equivalent of 11 football pitches. It will also be the most sustainable pier at Amsterdam Airport 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.
