Sustainable for the Future
Terminal 3 in Sight

During the construction project, great care was taken to avoid harming the environment. For example, groundwater extracted while digging the initial pit was stored and later carefully reintroduced to the ground while respecting the environment. The water was passed through filter systems whose quality was seamlessly monitored. Vehicular traffic and the associated environmental burdens were also reduced by building concrete structures on site and/or transporting them by ship or train. Thousands of truck trips were avoided in this way!

Solutions are being developed for installing extensive photovoltaic systems on the roofs of Terminal 3, the new parking facility, and the new maintenance building for the Sky Line people mover. Part of the energy requirement will thus be met from directly on site with renawable solar energy.
