GOALS AND OBJEGTTVE.q

GOAIJS & OBJECTIVES

For the community

With the mass influx of population

migrating from the northern states to the

"Sun Belt" area, counties such as Gregg

must accomodate this new population in order

to maintain their productivity and other

aminities associated with mass growth to

provide for a stable economic growth.

With adequate terminal facilities

Gregg County Airport will become more at­

tractive to larger airlines. This will

create more convient flights for the pop­

ulation, so they can avoid commuting

140 miles to the Dallas Fort Worth area

for convient airservices. Remodeling of

the existing facilities will serve as the

catalyst attracting more passengers and air-

carriers. Thus allowing the airlines to

create a more convient schedule of flights.

To further add convient services to

the county and with concern for energy

conservation, a mass transit system through­

out the city of Longvlew could be consoldated

into the airport and other transportation modes.

Restoration of the Old

The period in which the old terminal build­

ing was constructed, marks the point in time that

East Texas descovered its wealth and experenced

rapid growth. Buildings of this era are important

to the people of this area and must be preserved

as part of thier heritage.

Today modern airports architecturaly lack the

romance of the most ordinary train station. All

efforts muat be taken to utilized the existing

facilities until maximum capacity is reached, but

before this situation occures, considerations for

designing new terminal building is evident.

In Designing the New

The primary goal of designing new terminal

facilities is so that long range needs can be met.

The key factor to this expansion of the terminal

building, the parking lots, and the runways. By

establishing new facilities that are capable of

vast expansion. East Texas will be assured of

adequate service as it experiences enormous

growth in the future.

Ability for the new facilities to meet

accelerated load growth. Flexibility in the

spaces of the terminal building, parking lots,

and access roads, all are necessary for effect-

iviness.

To simplify circulation, separation of

passenger activity is required(i.e. processing,

cargo, and admimistrative activities), where-by

the departure lobby or interface is to be sep-

erated from the noninterface.

Strong considerations for energy conserv­

ation and utilization of passive and active

solar energy as well as use of low maintanance

materials, will achieve a lower operating cost

for the county.

The use of amenities such as restuarant,

cocktail lounge, meeting rooms, and cargo

rental space will attract additional building

use and revenue from Longvlew and other county

communities.

The New and The Old

(Terminal design objectives for the convience

to passengers)

Minimize walking distance of passengers

between thier cars to the departure lounge.

This design will function in the since of

passenger convenience, and also aesthetically

pleasing to promote human interaction. The

proposed new design will retain architectural

heritage while providing a more functional atmo-

phere with the use of wash and down lighting;

carpet as opposed to tile; and plants and

banners to stimulate the eye of Interest.

For New and Old

(economical feasiblity to airlines)

To provoke County support and interest in

the proposed design it is suggested that all

project operation cost be justified and alter­

native revenue incomes be mentioned. By

providing this analysis it is not only sub­

stantiate the feasibility for the county but

will also enable the corporate airlines to

maintain an effecient cost per passenger quotient.

With the information obtained through

market research will enable the county

to achieve an operation capable of retaining

monetary effeciency not only during peak hours

but also during slower times of operation. This

will facilitate high earnings and provide the

county with a profitable Institute in the near

future, assuming the county is able to receive

the largest airport capacity per dollar invested.

This sudden popularity can be attributed to the

moderate climate and low cost of living, as well

as the easy access to natural resoTurces and the heal­

thy economy. Longvlew, Texas has been caught up in

the Sunbelt and now boast the title of the third

largest industrial area in Texas. Ironically, the

jet age overlooked the small community in Gregg

County and failed to provide adequate commair ser­

vice because it was uneconomical with Dallas

located only 120 miles to the West. Air service

proceeded the late 70's have been Metro Flights to

Dallas, Houston and other near by cities. There

is a frequent large passenger carrier which arrives

and departs when the need arrises. Large aircraft

have been replaced with a smaller craft due to the

deregulation of the airline. The demand for the

air service in Longvlew is now Increasing due partly

to the growing popularity of East Texas. Also con­

tributing to this constantly growing need is the

economic side of mass air transportation, the energy

crisis, and population growth during the past decade.

-6-

Without adequate terminal facilities Gregg County

Airport may seem unatractive for future services,

to the larger air carrier services. Unless this need

for air services is met, Longvlew will not be able

to keep up with the industrial and economic growth

of the rest of the Sunbelt, and will find its future

expansion greatly hindered. Background studies of the

Airport and Gregg County are divided into three areas;

Urban Context, Existing Airport Facilities, and The

History of the Airport. The following chapters on

Urban context is a study which is the basis of a

future airport load.

LONGVIEW'S RELATION TO REGION

URBAN CONTEXK^ GREGG COUNTY REGION

Gregg County is situated in the Industrially

expanding triangle of Dallas, Houston, and Shreveport.

Three major highways serve the area: Interstate 20,

U.S. 80 and U.S. 259. Easy access in the County is

made possible by Loop 281 and major thoroughfares

run in and around the Longvlew area. Several railroads

serve the area and provide passenger service, while

Missouri-Pacific, Texas & Pacific, Atchinson, Topeka

& Santa Fe railroad companies move freight to and

from the County.

Longvlew, the largest city and the County seat

of Gregg accomodates over 60% of the Counties pop­

ulation. The remaider of the East Texans are scattered

in nearby towns such as Gladwater, Kilgore, Liberty

City, Pinetree, and Sprlnghill. Airport facilities

will also serve several towns within a 50 mile radius

Including Tyler, Henderson, Carthage, Nacodoches,

and Marshall. This is illustrated on the East Texas

area map on the preceding page.

POPULATION

The city of Longvlew, over the years,

has maintained a strong and consistant rate

of population growth. As a result of this

growth Gregg County has also experienced an

Increase in population each decade. The

Historical Analysis

The first discovery of oil in East Texas

in October of 1930 drew people to Gregg County

and its nieghboring counties like a magnet in

the 1930-1940 decade. The strike in Rusk County

spread to Longvlew and Kilgore in 1931 and brought

a period of prosperity to the area. This period

marked the greatest era for East Texas until

its popularity in the 70's. Although the mag­

nitude of the jobs created by the oil industry

did not stay constant, the discovery opened

up opportunities in other industrial fields in

Longvlew. During the 30's and 40's, approximately

20 manufacturing plants set up operations in

Longvlew. From this strong industrial base the

city has rapidly expanded to its present day

-9-

prosperity and to a great extent is responsible

for the continued growth and wealth of the

community.

Future Projections

The city of Longvlew has grown from a small

town of 1,525 people in 1880, to a city of 58,000

to 60,000 in 1979- A steady growth occured between

1880 and 1930. Since 1930, Longvlew has experienced

vigorous and solid growth both in population and in

industry, due to the ab\mdance of resources of the

East Texas area. It is predicted that this growth

will continue and that the population should double

from 1979 to 1990.

-10-

Economic Base

While the first two periods of Longvlew*s

development may be attributed first to agriculture

and secondly to petroleum, the current development

period should be recognized as that of industrial

and trade diversification and expending influence.

The geographic relationship of Longvlew to the

natxrral resources, the people and financial re­

sources of the state provide an opportunity for

continued significant expansion of the economic

base and the Community's population.

Raw Materials and Natiural Resources

Gregg County and its progressive cities of

Longvlew, Kilgore,and Gladewater are in the geo­

graphical center of an area also known as the Natural

Resoirrces Belt of East Texas.

Oil

The extensive petroleum development in this area

constitutes the greatest proven oil pool in the nation,

Due to the magnitude of this industry, it would be

repetitious and superfluous to delve into it

deeply in this testimony.

Steel

Steel plus oil, two of the products which

hold the highest places in the economic and

physical assets of the United States both in

peace time and war time are in abundance in this

area. Gregg County is in the center of 22 East

Texas counties which contain one of the largest

iron ore deposits remaining in the United States.

Such deposits axe now being exploited and pro­

duced by the expanding Lone Star Steel Co. imm-

ediantly North of Gregg County. R.G. LeTourneau,

Inc. now operates a steel mill in Longvlew.

Natural Gas

Natural Gas plus oil plus steel in abundance

points up in the importance of this area to the

entire United States. Gregg County is the

origin and a source of supply for the famous "Big

Inch" pipeline which is now carrying 450,000,000

cubic feet of gas daily to the East. One of

largest gas gathering centers in the world

adjoins Gregg County.

Timber

Gregg County is also located in the East Texas

Pine Belt which includes nearly all of the State's

saw timber and approximately 90% of all commercially

valuable tree growth.

Other Minerals

Lignite, clays and silica sands are abundant in

the area. There are several brick plants within a

thirty mile radius of Gregg County Airport.

Water

Fresh water in unlimited quantities is available.

Num-erous fresh water streams fed by about 44 Inches

of annual rainfall, the largest of which is the

Sabine River, provides huge volumes of fresh water

streams or from artificial lakes which can be constnict-

ed easily and cheaply. Lake Cherokee, a few miles

South of Longvlew, is an example.

In addition to rainfall there is an easily

accessible reserve of underground water.

Power

Southwestern Electric Go-operates is one

of the largest plants in Tesas, 180,000 kilo­

watts, located near Longvlew on Lake Cherokee

and another North of Longvlew generating 40,000

kilowats.

-13-

Manufacturing

Manufacturing employment has accounted foi'

the largest gain of any in Longvlew in the past

20 years. In 1950,14.^ employed were in manu­

facturing and In 1970 over 25% of Longvlew's

employees were involved in manufacturing. The

gain in durable goods manufactured represents more

than a threefold gain in 20 years and a similar

expansion occurred in the nondurable employment.

Few virban areas can boast so large a portion of

their portion of their employment involved in

manufacturing. In 1970, 18.6^ of the employed

persons in Texas were in manufacturing while in

Dallas Metropolitan Area 23.6^ of the employed

involved manufacturing. The high percentage

of manufactxrring employees in Longvlew is

considered to provide a strong supporting base

for other services relating employment. The

major manufacturers are listed and located on

the previous natural resources map.

As the City's geogaphic area expands more

of the County retail establishments will fall

within the city. It will be particularly

important to seek to retain the general

merchandise, apparel and accessory stores and

others in the downtown area of Longvlew as furture

shopping centers develop will tend to accelerate

the dispersal and create competitive conditions.

Transportation is a vital factor in the

continuing growth of Gregg County. It has become

the largest and finest airport in East Texas due

to is expansion in the late 1960's. Longvlew

was automatically recognized as the key transpor­

tation center in this area. Interstate 20 was

opened in April of I967 between Shreveport and

Dallas and the area was already served by U.S. 80

and thi'ee railroads. In the not too distant fu­

ture Longvlew will have barge transportation on

the Sabine River. These are the elements that

make a big city bigger. Its what fed the indus­

trial growth in the early days of the railroad.

Good transportation facilities attract industry.

Longvlew can boast of having the third largest

commercial runway facilities in Texas, its 10,000

foot length sTorpassed only by those at D-FW,

Houston, and Lubbock airports. These facilities

need to be utilized and the existing terminal

building should be brou^t up to date with air

trsinsportatlon technology. This inturn will

attract more airline services to satisfy the

communities needs and conveniance to the pass­

engers. This action needs to be taken now while

the design of new terminal facilities across

the runways are in progress.

AIR SERVICE HISTORY

Upon completion in I957, the Civil Aeronaut-,

ics Board (GAB) awarded a certificate of public

convenience and necessity. Mid Continent Air­

lines offered flints to Tulsa, Houston,

Muskogee, McAlester, and Dallas. Mid Continent

major competitor'Braniff•, supplied services to

Tulsa, Houston, Oklahoma City, Ft. Worth, Dallas

and Waco. In 1948, Delta Airlines began to offer

flights to Shreveport and Dallas. The GAB felt

that Delta should be allowed to fly to Austin,

Temple, San Antonio, Midland-Odessa, and Texarkana.

During this period of time aircrai't used were DG-3,

DC-4, DG-6, 1049G, and 340; capable of flights

up to 4500 miles. With a passenger capacity of

100 people these planes were short range and STOL

crafts. Gregg County Airport also had a good

strong air freight service.

In 1951 at the Central Renewal Proceedings

conducted by the CAB, Braniff Airways and Mid-

Continent Airlines merged and became Braniff Air-

lines. The decision of the case took Braniff com­

pletely out of Gregg County Airport and was re­

placed by Trans-Texas. Which survived such cities

as Dallas, Houston, Tulsa, Texarkana, Tyler, Beau­

mont, and Shreveport. These points were also being

serve by Delta-G & S Airlines, which also was sus­

pended in 1955. This loss of one plane and one

carrier was restored with flights offered to New

Orleans in 1959- The new aircrafts at these times

were the midrange crafts capable of a passenger

load of 120 people and a range of 4,000 miles

which are thej DG-7, DG-85O, and Boeing 707-120.

With the introduction of the jet-liners, the

DC 9&10, 707-120, 727-100, 707-320B, 737-100,

Gregg County Airport had been surpassedby technology.

It becajue uneconomical for a plane capabile of

trsinsporting I50 passengers 5,000 miles, to

service Longvlew, Unless there is an occupancy

rate of 60% for fligjits longer than 3OO miles

the jet-liners are not economical. Longvlew,

unable to generate this type of need, was un-

desircable to the larger Airline Companies.

-19-

The problem grew worse in the 70's, with the

Introduction of the wide bodied and sub-sonic

jets. Which one is the DC 10, with a passenger

load of 230 and a range of 4900 miles. The other

is Boeing's 7^7-320B capable of transporting

375 passengers, up to 9000 miles. The facili­

ties at Gregg County Airport is capable of land­

ing these airplanes, but the need for them has

not yet arrived.

Today air service is supplied to most

major cities in the southern region, by Trans-

Texas and American Airlines and several other

small companies. With the deregulation of Air-

travel in Fall of 79 the popularity of air travel

with its convenience and economical, the air­

lines realize a market for the short range and

medium range aircraft services. Along with the

popularity of air travel, the growth of the

Gregg County region has developed a need for

convenient service and tearminal facilitier that

are capable of handling the load. With the

vast growth of the sunbelt region, predicted

by the turn of the century, East Texas will require

adaquate transportation services. Transportation

services facilities that can deal with short range,

medium range, and large capacity aircrafts.

EXISTING FACILITIES

General

Gregg County, indicated in orange is

located 8 miles South of Longvlew on Airport

Road just off of State Highway 149. The

area has an abundance of water, found just

between the airport and the South Industrial

District is the Sabine River. The river at

one time was used by barges on their way to the

Gulf of Mexco.

The river hasn't been used for transportation

for some time but has good potential for future

The South Industrial District is the

largest of the three industrial sites and con­

tains several of the largest companies and cor­

porations. These include; Texas Eastman Co.,

Screw and Bolt Corp. of America, Trailmoblle

Division, Pullman Inc., and the Letourneau Steel

Mill and Manufacturing Co. The entire area is a

future prospect for housing and industrial growth.

Airfield

The existing airport site has great poten­

tial for future air transportation service to the

East Texas area. The air field consists of 3 run­

ways and 13 taxi-ways, all of which are well lit.

Eight of the 12 structures are located around the

apron which is located on the West side of the

airfield. The remaining buildings are to the South,

except for LTV which is found on the North side of

the site.

Air Traffic Control Tower

The (ATCT) is located 2,000 yards South of

the runway intersections. The towers maintain

contact with aircraft in the Immediate area of

the airport, and a radius of 150 miles. As of

1979 activity consisted mostly of general avia­

tion, second was Airtaxi, third was Air Carrier,

and fourth was Military.

Fire suid Rescue

Constructed at the same time as the new

control tower in 1975, was the Security and Fire

Rescue located south of the Air Terminal. The

Fire station and seciArity located in the facil­

ity is on 24 hour call and has all of the nece­

ssary equipment to handle most any emergency

situation. In service is three modern heavy

pieces of fire fighting equipment.

Hangers

When approaching the airport from Longvlew,

the first building sighted is the Piper Hanger

stairs have been removed and access was closed from

the tower. The original control tower is the domin­

ating featxjre of the 33 year old building. The

building has its own architectxjral character that

marks the start of a new era for East Texas. Pre­

servation and rejuvlnation as well as adaption are

essential guidelines for any future development of

the building.

SITE ANALYSIS

Site analysis of the Gregg County has been

done by the use of five basic maps; Land use. Slope,

Vegetation and Noise, Micro climate for Jan. 21, and

Micro climate for June 21. The land use map describes

three major features of the site: the basic

land use, views onto, form, and within the site,

and site drainage. The slope gives a 3 dimen­

sional study of the site land features. Moderate

and slight slopes as well as the direction of

drainage is shown by the intensity of the lines.

Plateaus are indicated by the white areas and the

valleys by the solid gray areas. The Vegetation

and Noise Map shows tree coverage and open fields

on the site as well as the noise generated areas.

Also Illustrated are the bodies of water. Micro

climate maps are the most complex and show the

slope thermal conditions, air movement and pre­

vailing winds, as well as the climatic data needed

for future design. The selection of the site will

be influenced by the following factors:

1. Type of development of the surrounding

areas

2. Acceslbillty to ground transportation

3. Availability of land for expansion

4. Surrounding obstructions

5. Economics of construction

6. Availability of utilities

There are three large tracks of land that have

been selected for further development. Closer

views of the three sites are provided for further

detailed site analysis. Each site can be refered

to the basic land use map for relationships to

each other.

NOISE

Besides the very important problem of noise

created by overflying aircrafts, there are other

noise problems created within the airport and

the adjacent communities due to aircraft ground

operations and other maneuvers prior to take-off

and ai-ter touch-down. Noise due to aircraft man­

euvers is catagorized into two groups; the first

is caused by ground movements and operations,

the second is during the Initial stages of the

take-off or the final stages of the approach

and landing procedures.

Noise created by ground operations of the

aircraft is broken down into three sources;

taxiing and holding noise, engine ground run­

ups, and auxiliary power unit operations. An

aircraft leaving or returning to the air ter­

minal passes near the terminal or airport per­

imeter with dwellings not to far away. At other

times aircrafts may have to be put on hold were

the engines operate at a low power setting.

-31-

c \

/

A

•> \*^;^u

•— —

•32-

So continuous flow of ground traffic then could

have effect on noise on adjacent to the site.

Engine ground rim-ups received early recognition

around air bases, it has also produced similar

situations at commercial airports. The engine run-ups

ocGure in a variety of situations either after an en­

gine is overhauled it must be tested, or as part of a

repair or maintanance situation of the total air-

-c continuously as the en--33-

glne thrust settings are changed. Auxiliary

power unit operation is required either at passenger

embarking or loading or during cargo handling pro-

ceedures. Not only can the ground crew be affected,

but also passengers can be too in a acoustically

untreated building.

Ground noise created on the site must care­

fully be delt with on and near the site. Across

is an illustration of the typical ground noise cont •

ures from AUP operations.

Noise generated by airport operations can ex­

tend miles from the site, this intensity of noise

occures on take-offs and landings. The loss of

gr-ound effect takes a tremendous amount of thrust,

and is essentially an increase in noise levels that

occur as the airplane leaves the runway and the

excess attenuation of the ground falls away. As

an aircraft starts its glide path there is an

audible thrust change and is a significant factor

In the calculation of noise exposure. A more

important problem occurs just before landing

but principally occurring after touchdown, is

the noise produced through the thrust reverse

application. This sudden burst of noise of high

intensity but short duration is caused by the

sudden reversal of the exhaust gas flows.

The noise problems produced by the airport

can cause severe disturbances to those farm houses

and laJce houses in the vicinity of the airport, as

well as hearing hazards to ground staff. Besides

the obvious solution of source noise reduction,

the usual methods of control are the use of

barriers to obstruct the paths of noise pro­

pagation and soTind-proofing of structures to

protect the occupants.

AIRPORT OPERATIONS

An airport, like a modern city is devoted to

dynajnic movement. Its structured by a complex

system that facilitated passenger and cargo move­

ment, maintalnance, aircraft control, and other

systems that provide for auxiliary support func­

tions.

First, all of the movements and functions of

the passengers, cargo, and the airline employees

to and from the air-port are regulated by the

airport's timetable of the airlines and the

flights chosen by the passengers. Therefore

this timetable method is selected to describe

the airport operations. Passenger volume and

peak hour traffic have been determined by using

a demand model to a reasonable accuracy in a later

chapter.

Airlines are to take special care to corr­

elate cargo movements to and from the community.

This movement is based on the county itself and

amount of its normal woking hours. This working

schedule is /renerally in conflict with the flight

schedule of the airlines. Also based upon this

schedule are working hours of the employees.

Therefore all major elements of movement to and from

the airport are worked around the preestablished

timetable on a programmed basis. This technology

can overnight change the preestablished schedule,

thereby changing all relationships and movement

to and from the airport. This occurs in three ways;

1. The aircraft manufactured have demostrated its

ability to produce new aircrafts with greater speed,

capable of carrying a gross load comparable to

that of existing aircraft. With these faster air­

crafts, time zones that had one relationship now

have another. This affects the schedule and all

of the related disciplines. With the introduction

of Boeing l^f^ in March of I982 and the 767 in June

of 198/f, many airports will have problems with

-40-

adequate apron space. Because the wlngspan of

the two new jet liners are 25 feet longer than

most gates are designed for. This creates the

problem of aircrafts not being able to power out

away from loading gates on their own.

2. The ability to change and increase the pay-

load of the aircraft for both passengers and

cargo creates a new condition. This requires a

revision of function and all disciplines in

order to accept greater nvimbers of passengers and

increased cargo movement within a short period

of time. It also creates voids during other per­

iods of the day.

3. This condition results fran both increased

payload and Increased speed. This will totally

change the predetermined schedule. Therefore, a

constant program factor in the development and

design of all functions and disciplines is the

fact that flexibility for future growth and

expansion must be incorporated.

Schedules established by the airlines must

be reasonably sound, for smooth operations. Under

the deregulation law of 78, any permanet change

requires 60 day notice. Because of the factors

that are dealt with it is essential that the depar­

ture schedule may sometimes not be kept due to ad­

verse weather conditions, mechanical difficulties,

and to the special considerations that arise l om

time to time. Even though an airline may usually

run on schedule, a 10 or 15 percent deviation

can raise havoc at the airport. Obviously no

two airports function in the same manner, there­

fore an overload factor was evaluated. At the

same time efficiency on a 24 hour schedule is

high on the list of consideration of priorities

because peak hour operation may only be reached

two or four hours daily. Restraints have been

exercised to carefully control the amount of

-41-

structure that is designed to provide an econ­

omically correct solution.

The airport functions as a trcinsfer point be­

tween air vehicles and ground vehicles. Statistics

on Individual aircrafts in service today axe

available in the appendix. The ground vehicles

utilized at the airport are mostly passenger cars

and trucks. Also included are rapid transit

systems of many descriptions and special loading

vehicles which can be utilized for supplementary

transfer within the airport property. The

dreaJii of mass transit from center city to outlying

airport is about faded due to the enormous con­

struction cost Involved, as well as operating

losses. Moreover, most passengers who use the Gregg

Goiinty Airport come from the suburb and not downtown.

But with the increasing intensity of the energy

crisis, cities of similar size are developing

mass transit systems that can be tied to the air­

port as well as other modes of transportation net­

works .

The economic health of the airport and the

importance to stay within the bounds thereby

established cannot be over emphasized. The succ­

essful operation of the airport will demand total

cooperation with the surrounding communities

and coimties. It thereby follows the every effort

to establish proper working relationships among

the many varied systems within the airport will

be predicted upon a successful relationship with

the surrounding community.

AIRPORT ACTIVITY STATISTICS AND PREDICTIONS

By the use of a demand model, air traffic and

passenger loads have been determined with reasonable

accuracy on a short and Intermediate range. Vari­

ables in the method were social, technological,

and economics, as well as travel demands. The

forecasts were also make on a long range basis.

This demand model on a 20 year forecast is very

approximate and places a strong emphasis on the

flexiblility needed in the terminal design. De­

mand model forecast method was broken down into

five steps.

First: the observation of past and current

trends of airtravel demand. Not only for Gregg

County but other airports and communities that

have experienced similar growth patterns. For

review, see urban study in the introduction.

Second: inventory of the vai'iations as well

as similarities in the economic, social and tech­

nological factors.

Economic Trade

General Bulsness

Education

Population

Flight Requirements

These economic factors narrow down the airports

which should have the types of airport loads and

fli^t requirements similar to Gregg County in the

future. The population of the model determined

the magnitude of the load expected for Gregg

County facilities.

Third: Relationships based on the economic

factors were established to determine which

airports would serve as a primary study model.

Fourth: Projections for Gregg County were thus

determined by closely comparing the airports to

airports on a 5, 10, and 20 year range, (see table)

Fifth: Through a closer study of the airport

flights and schedules, the economic factors that

determined the schedule, and peak loads. Through

this model study, peak loads were reasonably

predicted for Gregg County, (see peak load graphs)

LOCAL OPERATION

AJRTRAFFIC PREDICTIONS

The volume of air carriers flying into

Gregg GoTonty Increases due to the demand and con­

venience requirements of the community. The

increases of the air carrier lessons the need

for air taxi services between Longvlew and other

major cities in the southwest. As shown in the

Air Traffic Prediction Graph is a general trend

in airport growth for several reasons. Tur­

bulence by the large jet liners require a 4

minute delay before a small class A air­

craft may take-off. Turbulence is not the only

reason. Jet liners require a long approach and

departure. Small crafts can easily be over­

taken by the larger planes. Alternatives for

TOTAL

^3976 240 1690 Gl^Z

general aviation lies in Longvlew's other air­

field which handles small crafts only.

Peak Conditions are broken down into hours,

days, and months. The hourly scale is illustrated

by the use of the graphs. The graphs show peak

hour experienced in the late morning. These are

based on departures and arrivals, because of

this it must be kept in mind tliat the 6:00 clock

to 7J00 clock a.m. loads are generally departures.

While the 8:00 clock to midnigVit loads are arrivals.

This information determines the volume of space

needed for arrival and departure lobbies. Non­

interference peak was determined by Friday and

TERMINAL

Flexibility is the key consideration for design

in respects to parking lots, public transportation

systems, curb frontage, baggage claim areas, check-

in areas, gates lounges and aircraft positions.

All of these elements and the airline operations

must be independently capable of growth. In­

dependence and flexiblility are required to meet

the rapid change of aircraft technology and its

essential that the terminal adapt quickly to these

changes.

Parellminary Design conciderations is to be

based around two factors; the convenience to pass­

engers and efficiency of operations for the airlines.

The existing facilities are a single level type

system with all processing of passengers and bag­

gage occurs at the level of the apron level (See

Cross section diagrams). Seperation of arriving'

and departing passengers flow is achieved hori­

zontally. In order to completely understand the

movement of passengers and baggage throu^out the

terminal facilities. Flow charts identifying

each stage of movement have been supplied. The

charts are not intended to represent space rela­

tionships, only the process in which the passengers

baggage must go through when they are departing

and arriving. (Diagrams have been obtained from

Time Savers Standards)

Amenities and administrative functions take

place on the second level, but without switch­

ing to the undesireable shuttle bus operation.

The operation has been quite economical and

suitable because of the low passenger volumes

in the past. As shown in the Gross section

diagrams, the remodeled new facilities should

convert into the two level passenger terminal

system. This will allow direct loading of

passengers and seperation of passengers and

cargo. In both accounts the placement of air­

crafts on the apron are to be power-out type

positions. In the two level system jetways are

to be used for loading passengers while the

plane is on the apron. Directly related with

the loading technique is the concept and funct­

ion of the gate lounges. In this area the open

dynamic and static concepts are to be used.

The basic function requirements are ticket count­

er with all its communication equipment.

semisecure seating capacity to handle the pass­

engers, flight identification, last-minute bag­

gage drop, and circulation pattern which seperates

the deplaning passengers from the boarding

passengers. The depairture gate is the major

function of the interface lobby; while ticket

sales, baggage check, and baggage claim are the

functions of the non-interfaced lobby. (For a more

indepth study, see Detail Space Requirements)

Other general considerations for the con­

venience of the passengers include: automated

doors, extra wide escalators, and moving walk­

ways. Use of bilingual messages throughout the

airport are required for passenger guidance.

This terminal must also provide ajnenities

for the traveling public. These are to include

all of the following listed, each item has been

determined by the passenger volume:

In addition to the amenities, medical and

First-Aid facilities should be included in the pass­

enger terminal if they are not provided elsewhere

in the airport.

Public Information systems should be designed

in as well as the prime airline information

system that the airline user feels they can afford.

Some consideration needs to be devoted to the net

effect of space demands in presenting accurate up­

date information to the traveling public.

For the remodeled existing facilities the move­

ment system of passengers and baggage is the same.

These movements pattern are illustrated for

arriving passengers, deplaning national passenger.

deplaning international passengers, and baggage.

The architectural spaces are to perform the move­

ment of passengers, employees and cargo are further

described, and relationships of these spaces are

demonstrated in following chapters.

CARGO

As the aircargo industry grows, the complex

on the airport designed to handle aircargo is

a significant element in the airport planning

and design. The facilities must provide for the

effecient transfer of air cargo between surface

transportation and aircraft. Four cargo centers

should be located so that an affective transfer

of cargo between air and surface is achievable.

Four primary considerations dictated the

site considerations for the cargo complex.

1. Taxi distance from most used runways

should be as short as possible, and yet smoothly

incorporated with the passenger operations.

2. Cargo facilities are to be readily

accessible by surface vehicles from the passenger

aircraft loading positions for efficient servicing

of aircraft carrying both passengers and cargo.

3, All four cargo areas are to be readily

from all access roads to the airport to assure

non-interference of vehicular traffic with air­

craft movement areas.

4. Adequate space is to be allowed for

expansion of air cargo operations without en­

croaching on other airport functions, particularly

without interfering with the expansion of the

passenger process.

These four primary considerations indicate

the general relationships with other functions

and activities. For the cargo facility to func­

tion properly, design considerations are to

take into account the following: aircraft park­

ing aprons, and requirements for aircraft parking

and loading. Roads on and off of the site as

well within the site should have convenient access

from the, passenger tex^minal. Tx'uck parking and

manuevering areas must also be provided. Park­

ing areas for customers and visitors are required

-56-

with direct access to the receptionist. Employee

parking must also be considered but no direct

access is needed.

The air carrier cargo area is required to be

planned for multiple occupancy. There are four

major functional elements to be considered in

the air carrier cargo area. These are the freight

handling areas, administration area, personnel and

customer accommodations and service facilities.

The first and most evident function is freight

handling, there must also be truck dock positions,

facilities for airport to airport customers

who use other than trucks, and the delivery and

pick up of small shipments.

Recieving, sorting, weighing, lableing,

and building up of loads for shipment are the

major activities in the processing of freight

from the truck to the aircraft. There are a

number of factors which had a profound effect

on total space requirements.

1. Cargo turnover was affected by such

variables as types of aircraft, frequency of

service, time of day of arrivals, and departures

Inbound, outbound, and directional preponder­

ance of cargo.

2. Density of cargo accounts for con­

siderable conciderable amount of space. A ton of

cut flowers occupies many times more space

than a ton of machine parts.

3. Character of cargo creates a need for

specific space allocations. Refrigerated

storage is required for perishable cargo, and

other temperature controlled areas and needed

for live cargo. Bonded storage is needed

for customs, import/export control, as well as

security accomodations for valuable cargo.

4. Methods of handling and storage cause

variations in space requirements. Operations

utilizing forklifts and pallets require more

square footage for circulation and manuever­

ing.

In order to have proper cargo operation

adequate administatlve space is necessary. This

can be broken down into the reception area, sales

offices, management and general office space,

and communications centers, as well as centers

for efficient movement of freight, and the air­

craft space control office. In order to pro­

vide for efficient operation, equipment must

be kept in good working order at all times

maintalnance and storage of materials handling

equipment, such as containers should not be

overlooked. The functions of maintalnance

and storage may be joined, or they may be

completely seperated.

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION

Building design consistent with functional

requirements and the need for economic construc=

tion and maintalnance cannot be overemphasized.

The buildings may have to be constructed beyond

the jurisdiction of the Longvlew building codes.

Materials and methods of construction and de­

sign of the airport buildings are not gov­

erned by building codes of Longvlew.

Selection of the structural system to be

used for the building should be based on

careful considerations of the insurance rates

for various classes of buildings construction

and occupgincy.

SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

-65-

SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

Structure - The performance of the structural

system Is based around three factors: clear

spans, floor loads, and cantalevers. Clear-

spans in both the interface and noninterface

lobby can be expected to reach 40 to 50 feet.

The structural system must handle these types

of loads as well as cantaleavers of 20 to

30 feet. Special considerations are needed for

foundation design due to the high level of

clay in the soil on the site. Floor live

loads are to be designed as follows:

Lobbies 100 psf Offices 80 psf Snack Bar 100 psf Cocktail Lounge 100 psf Kitchens 100 psf Meeting Rooms 100 psf Cargo & Storage 125 psf Stairways 100 psf

Electrical - Utilities are to be supplied by

local conpanles. A back-up system is required

to assiure operations during a black out. Both

landing lights and terminal facilities are

required to be incorporated into the emer­

gency power system. This automatically /•/•

starts the moment utilities are cut off. Electrical

transformer should be located seperate from struc­

ture or delt with so that vibrations and noise

not sent through structure to other spaces. Peinel

boxes should be located in zones which maybe cut

off without affecting other spaces.

Acoustics - Noise form aircraft operations can be

hazardous to passengers and airline crew. Other

than take off and landings there is extremely

high noise levels from tax:iing and engine run-ups.

Acoustical considerations must be taken to sound

proof the building from these noise sources. Not

only aircraft operations but large lobbies loaded

with people moving is a major problem. In these

type spaces materials must be selected to reduce

in building noise. Acoustics require special

interest so that occupants are not disturbed by

noises.

Devided into three individual systems: curb check,

airline tidket check, and baggage claim. First;

the curb check system is an automatic telecar sys­

tem with cars propelled by low maintainace con­

vection motors. When baggage is checked in at the

curb the car is programmed to stop at the correct

starting zone, then return to curb check. Second;

each of the four ticketing zones corresponds to

a cargo zone and has its own conveyer system.

The luggage is given a belt fli^t code ticket

when checked in. Then it is sent on to a con­

veyer belt to the sorting area. After baggage

has been sorted its then loaded on carts and is

ready to be transferred to the proper plane.

ThirdJ deplaned luggage is either sent to baggage

claim or is transferred to another plane. Bag­

gage claim has a common deplane baggage check

on the apron level. From this point, the bag­

gage is covered to the jet claim located in the

departure lobby.

-69-

Passenger Loading Bridges

So that passengers boarding and deboardlng are

not exposed to weather conditions, jet-way loading

bridges are to be used. System must be flexible

for a variety of aircraft use. This requires an

apron drive telescope bridge with rotating ends

to fit properly against any airplane door.

Bridge movements are horrizontal and vertical

and are controlled by a control console, but is

capable of manual operation in case of power fail­

ure. The complete bridge assembly is weather­

proof both when parked with the weather door closed

and/or sealed to the airplane.

SPACE FUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS

-7i-

FUNGTONAL SPACE RELATIONSHIPS

The purpose of this section is to establish

the physical relationship which spaces have with

each other. These relationships are measured in

various degrees of importance, these are; man-

ditory, primary, secondary, and communications

only.

Manditory - able to handle large flows of

traffic without bottle necking or causing con­

fusion. Its important that the flow of traffic

must not be interupted, whether it be passengers,

baggage or employees.

Primary - relationships established are

important circulation functions, yet a large

volume of adverse circumstances occur.

Secondary - relationships must exist, but

these relationships are not to have a major

influence on design decisions.

Communication - either terminal or airport or

alrtraffic communication is necessary.

PASSENGER PROCESS

1. Access Interface

1.11 Auto Parking - Rou^ly 700 parking spaces

should be supplied; 250 long term, 350 short term.

Additional considerations for expansion, since

parking is the second largest source of revenue

that an airport has. Automatic ticket entry will

supply the time card which is used to determine the

ajnount due. At least three total booths are

required or one for every 200 short term spaces

and one for every 400 longterm spaces. Types

of Parking:

1. Airline Passengers

2. Visitor Accompanying Passengers

3. Specti^tors

4- Car Rental and Limos±nes

5. People Employeed at the Airport

6. People that have Bulsness at the Airport

Rental car and employees should be supplied with

seperate parking facilities. Rental parking lots

should hold about 50 cars and must be able to lock

them up to prevent vandlism. Rental car companies

are required to deliver and pick-up the card at

the curb frontage.

1.12 Connection/Conveyance - Convenient access

to the various automobile parking facilities on the

airport, such as walkways, shuttle busses, or

automatic conveyance systems. Pedestrian ride-

away is a necessity but without great hinderance

to traffic flow. Pathways are to be designed to

handle peak hour traffic. Automatic systems

could be designed in all systems and over all

pedestrian safety is a necessity.

1.13 Curb Frontage - Facilities for loading and

unloading passengers using collective airport access

-84-

modes, such as bus stops, llmosine stations, and

rapid transit should be considered. Private modes

of transportation is vital such aa passenger cars and

rental cars. The curb frontage is very critical be­

cause if it becomes conjested, it will cause the

entire airport operation to fail. Curb frontage

will be devided into two areas, one for arriving and

the other for departing passengers. '

Time Duration in Minutes

Enplaned Deplaned Private Cars 2 3 Valet Cars at Curb 3 3 Valet Quewing 5 Rental Gars 3 3 Taxi 5 5

Curb frontage should conform with all airport buil­

ding and fire codes to insure safety of all pedes­

trians. Lifting of the area is required for

early morning and night and adverse weather

conditions. Adequate weather condition protection

as well as accessibility to the handicapped is

required. Adequate seating and lotering facilities

are necessary.

1.14 Airport Access Modes - Major access to

and within the airport will be designed for pass­

enger cars. Circulation within and to the airport

will be assisted by a minimum of directional signs,

yet effectively direct the public to their desig­

nations. Seperation of circulation types at the

airport entry; parking, freight, and passenger.

The only traffic which is at the curb frontage

is vehicles delivering or picking up passengers.

With the concern for utilization of mass transit,

considerations should be design in, if not only

for the future;

High Speed Rail or Monorail

1.15 Gurbfront Baggage Check - Baggage Handling

System is general left up to the airlines to

select, but if curb check is to be used, an auto­

matic system like Boeing Telecar, which is pro-

gramable to send the baggage to the proper air­

line cargo area.

-85-

-86-

1.2 Processing (noninterface)

1.21 Ticket Lobby - The lobby should supply ad­

equate space for passenger movement and circulation,

as well as seating and various amenities discussed in

section 1.23. Ticketing lobby will have seperate

facilities for arriving and departing passengers.

Arriving pa.ssenger lobby contains all ticket

sales counters and space for lines to form at these

counters. Some seating should be located to serve

all ticket counters. Scheduling, location and

direction aids shall be supplied to assist pass­

enger circulation. Ticketing lobby shall be de­

signed to handle a 1000 sq. ft, per 100 typical

peak hour arriving passengers, or 4500 sq. ft.

Passengers arriving on flights should be easily

directed to the baggage claim area. Adequate

standing and sitting, waiting area sliould be de­

signed aroxond claim area. This lobby should con­

tain such amenities as; hotel information, telephone

communication, rental car, and airport security

office. Designed space 1000 sq. ft. per 100

typical peak hour, or 4500 sq. ft.

Area common to both lobbies should have

adequate restroom facilities, amenities, lockers,

access to freight offices, access to airport

administration and airport offices. Amenities

located in this area are: food dispensing, and

postal services and information.

1.22 Airline Ticketing - Each airline has its

own coimter which should be easily recognized by

the public, fll^t information, ticket sales,

baggage check, and reservation confermation takes

place at each ticket counter. Each airline is to

choose its own reservation communication system

to be installed. To insure four zones with sep­

erate conveying systems. Each system delivers

to its cargo handling zones for sorting and load­

ing on the proper plane. Boeing Conveyer System

-87-

-88-

is to be designed on this four zone, for more

information see system performance.

^•23 Baggage Claim - Located in the depart­

ing passenger lobby, the baggage claims is con­

solidated with all of the airlines. Boeing's

Jet-Glaim System is to be designed to handle

COST ANALYSIS

Financing & Ownership

Gregg County Airport is presently under owner­

ship of individual authorities that run the

airport on behalf of one local authority. This

is a step in the right direction being the trend

toward public ownership is international, and not

private. In order to Insure the successfulness

funding of the new air terminal ownership ml^t

possible by shifted to Quasi-Governmental Organ­

izations (by shared ownership with other East

Texas Counties) or affiliation with DFW International.

The Airport to some degree will be self-

financing, with a healthy return on invested cap­

ital. The initial capital requirement for the con­

struction and development of the airport cannot

be financed by its ovm resources. Therefore the

new terminal development proceeds on the basis on

money aggregated from a variety of sources such as

general obligation bonds, self liquidating general

obligation bonds, revenue bonds, local taxes,

and state and federal grants.

1) General Obligation Bonds - an investment se­

curity that can be sold at a low interest rate;

lowering the limited total available debt, level.

2) Self Liquidating General Obligation Bonds -

secured in the same manner as General Obligation

Bonds; however with the recognition that the bond

is financing and a revenue reducing project,

the issue does not contribute toward the overall

debt limitation set by Texas.

3) Revenue Bond - the entire debt service is paid

from project revenues, but is subject to the

general debt limitation. This bond also have a

higher interest rate and can be sold on the open

market.

-102-

4) Local Governmental Taxes

5) State Finance - usual match. Federal funds 5O-5O

or in the case of no Federal funds, local.

6) Federal Grants - Are available through Federal

Airport Act of 1946 as amended in I955, 1959, 196I,

1964, 1966; and currently by the Airport and Air­

way Development Act of I970 as amended in I976; and

the Airport Development Acceleration Act of I973.

Value Engineering - can be achieved in a

variety of methods.

*Planning: To meet precise objects.

*Arx-angement: Simplification of structure

by use of conponat parts

*Engineering Services: Omission of air condition­

ing or other services in certain areas and utilization

of passive solar resources.

*SimplificatiQn of design and use of stand­

ardized conponants.

Revenues & Expenditures

Since, the feasibility of building and devel­

oping a terminal relies greatly on the anticipated

revenue and expenditures, the financial aspect

of airport planning must take into consideration

both revenues and expenses; those two principle

divisions may be further grouped into the oper­

ational & non-operational areas.

Operating Revenues - 98.5%

1) Landing Area

Landing Fees

Parking Fees

2) Concessions

Specialty Areas; news stands, food and drinks

Leisure Areas; television, observation

Travel Services; lockers, washrooms, rental

cars, rest areas, telephones.

personal services; barber, valet services,

off-terminal facilities; office rental, advertising.

3) Airline Leased Areas

Officers

Managers

Ticket & Check-in counters

Operations

Maintalnance Areas

Cargo Areas

4) Other Leased Areas

Industrial Areas

Fuel & Servicing Facilities

Fixed Base Operations

freight forwarders

Ware-housing

Land Use Rights-oil, farming, cattle, etc..

5) Other Operating Revenue

Equipment Rental

Resale of Utilities

Baggage Handling

Non-operating Revenues 1,5%

All income that occurs from sources that

are not directly connected to airport functions.

example: rental of non-airport land (LTV) or

from interest on accvimulated surpluses.

EXPENDITURES

Operational Expenses 86.4%

1) Maintalnance Cost

Up Keep of Facilities

Landing Areas; Runways, tapciways, aprons,

lighting equipment, etc.

.05-

Terminal Area; buildings, utilities, bag­

gage handling, access routes, grounds, etc.

Hangers

Cargo Area

2) Operating Cost

Admini stration

Staffing

Utilities

Security

Non-pperatlonal Expenses 13.6%

The unescapable cost that would have to be met

even if the airport ceased operation. Typically

they include the interest payments on outstanding

capital debt and amortization charges on fixed

assets such as runways, aprons, buildings, and other

infrastructures.
