Project management of new Zagreb Airport Terminal

The project of new Zagreb Airport Terminal is currently the largest civil engineering undertaking in Croatia. Almost 66.000 m2 of the Terminal will accommodate 5 million passengers per year, 3 times more than the current Terminal. The project started in 2008 when a competition was called upon by Zagreb City. In an international competition the winning design was chosen from a group of authors comprising two architects – Branko Kincl, Velimir Neidhardt, and one civil engineer – Jure Radić. This terminal design distinguished itself among competition in its integral multidimensional approach between the construction, form, urbanism, ecology and functionality. After some pause due to financial shortcomings, the project was again rebooted in 2012, when Croatian government signed a concessionary agreement with French company Bouygues and its local partners. Concessioner agreed to finance the whole project, including design, erection and service, in exchange for 30 years exploitation privileges. The main design started in 2012 according to the winning design with some compromises made in order to further optimize cost. The main identity of the building, its architectural and landmark trademark which is achieved with an elegant double curvature fluid form of its roof structure, was not to be changed. The inner concrete structure was optimized to allow for larger spans accommodating to more flexible airport needs, and ultimately a more durable construction. The erection of the Terminal started in late 2013. Until now all concrete structure has been finished, and roof steel truss is being assembled. The opening is scheduled for late 2016.
