The New Hamad International Airport

SM&W Contribution

Shen Milsom & Wilke (SM&W) played a pivotal role in the development of a world-class terminal with a capacity to handle up to 12 million passengers annually and accommodate six Super Jumbos across 24 contact gates. The project spanned three phases and included comprehensive acoustic, audiovisual, and IT infrastructure consulting for the Passenger Terminal, Parking Structure, Hotel, Mosque, Central Plant, and various site improvements. SM&W also provided audio system design services for the terminal.

The acoustical scope addressed significant challenges, including reverberation control in the expansive Terminal Building and Mosque, aircraft noise isolation through exterior building elements, and sound isolation and mechanical noise control guidelines across the project.

SM&W developed design criteria and performance specifications for the terminal’s advanced public-address system, complete with visual paging system interfaces. This full-featured system supports airport-wide paging, messaging, flight announcements, monitoring, testing, and courtesy announcements. It integrates seamlessly with flight and gate information displays and includes future expansion capabilities for Concourse A, Concourse B, and the Main Terminal, including the Spa and Hotel public areas. These solutions ensure a cohesive, efficient, and scalable communication infrastructure for Hamad International Airport.
