King Fahd International Airport (KFIA) in Dammam is one of the three main international
airports in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. KFIA was opened for commercial traffic in 1999.
KFIA comprises of a main passenger terminal and two connecting North and South
Concourses. A plan of the existing building and apron layout can be found in Appendix A.
The passenger terminal is symmetrically shaped and consists of two wings equal in size
connected by the central part. The north wing and the central part are in use at the moment but
the south wing (called the Option Area) has remained as an empty shell since the airport started
operation. The Option Area is currently fully concealed with structural finishes and provision
of first fix of mechanical and electrical (M&E) services only.
The passenger terminal has six floors of which three are allocated for passenger processing. The
check-in hall at the landside of the building and the international departure lounge at the airside
are located at the 5th floor (Departure Level). The check-in hall contains the check-in counters
for international and domestic travelers. After check-in, departing international passengers
proceed at this level to the international departure lounge for boarding. Departing domestic
passengers descend from the 5th to the 4th floor to the domestic departure lounge for boarding.
Commercial facilities, airline lounges and passenger services are available in both waiting
lounges. The 4th floor (Boarding Level) is an intermediate level between the departure and
arrival facilities. At landside this floor is connected to the parking garage and mosque. At
airside this floor is connected to the passenger boarding bridges. Domestic departures and
arrivals are mixed while international departures and arrivals are segregated. The arrivals level
at 3rd floor (Arrival Level) is situated at ground level and provides direct access to the arrival
kerb where taxis are lined up. The 2nd floor (Service Level 2) is a basement floor which is used
for car rental facilities and is linked to the car park. The 1st floor (Service Level contains
M&E equipment and operation rooms, maintenance workshops, service road, storage areas, etc.
The central part of the 6th floor (Mezzanine Level) is used as a viewing platform while the
northern module is used mostly by the airport management, administration and operation
departments.
Both the North and South Concourses have three floors with apron level at arrivals level of the
terminal followed by subsequent floors at Boarding Level and Departure Level.
KFIA handled Million Passengers Per Annum (MPPA) in 201 . To accommodate forecast
increase in passenger traffic and aircraft movement in the future, Dammam Airports Company
(called the Owner) is planning to increase passenger and apron handling capacity of the airport
up to MPPA. This will be done through fitting out and operationalizing the Option Area,
extending the two existing concourses and providing more parking stands. An overview of this
proposed development of KFIA can be found in Appendix C.

KEY DESIGN PRINCIPLES
The design of the proposed development of KFIA shall be guided by the following key
design principles which set out the strategic design considerations for the terminal building and
the functional criteria of the terminal facilities and operating environment within KFIA:
a) Master Planning
The current Airport Master Plan for KFIA was approved and caters for
expansion up to the annual capacity of 2 million passengers per annum
(mppa). The MDC shall make reference to this Airport Master Plan for the
holistic development of the airport.
The Airport Master Plan shows the separation of domestic and international
passenger s on north and south wing of the terminal respectively. The MDC is
encouraged to retain the existing configuration that places domestic contact
gates on the Boarding Level. The MDC is required to retain the existing flexible
swing gate operation.
The MDC will build upon the work of the Airport Master Plan to identify the
appropriate programmatic requirements, and develop the airport and passenger
terminal expansion plans to provide a long term and comprehensive solution for
the development of the KFIA.
The MDC shall prepare, in totality, concept plans for the expansion of existing
airport up to the annual design capacity of mppa, as defined in the Airport
Master Plan. Current plans to be undertaken by Owner for the expansion of the
airfield, passenger processing, and baggage handling facilities shall be fully
integrated into the design concept.
The MDC is required to study and present the passenger terminal layout strategy
options for the terminal with cost estimates.
The MDC shall review all existing operational facilities within the passenger
terminal, and propose a conceptual layout plan that integrates old and new
facilities into seamless and coherent experience
The approved Master Planning concept shall form the basis of the detailed
engineering and architectural design to be prepared under this project.
Page of
The design shall demonstrate how construction works should be phased to
minimize disruption to the ongoing operation of facilities.
b) Terminal Experience
c) Architecture
Architecture, is about more than form and style. It is the product of cultural and
environmental factors and expresses the way of life of the society for whom it is
built. It should represent the region and provide passengers, visitors and users
with a sense of place. The terminal area could represent the various rich cultural
aspects of Saudi Arabia through the architectural design and therefore traditional
craftsmanship and traditional materials may be adopted to coexist with modern
and dynamic architecture and state-of-the-art building technology.
Page of
The architectural design solution should ensure the coherent and seamless
integration with the existing design of terminal.
The architectural form for the building and design of other elements of the
terminal building should create a distinguished and timeless signature for the
airport that will withstand obsolescence through the passage of time.
Special attention to detail and selection of material should be applied to the main
passenger processors, such as check-in hall, transit area, departure immigration,
arrival immigration and baggage claim areas.
The MDC shall also take into account maintenance and renewal of building
facilities and equipment in considering design and material choices with the
objective of minimising life-cycle costs and manpower needs.
d) Airport Operations
Introduce enhanced use of self service facilities for check-in, bag drop and
boarding.
Introduce dedicated premium check-in lounge for premium (first and business
class) passengers. This personalized service would serve to encourage premium
passengers to favor use of KFIA for air travel. Premium check-in lounge to be
easily accessible from departure curbside and allow for direct access to
departure immigration. Alternatively, it could also be standalone premium
check-in lounge with dedicated immigration facility.
Page of
Provision of circulation space at pre-boarding screening area, for queuing as
well as for long benches to allow passengers to prepare their belongings for
screening.
Provision of centralized departure bus lounge (one each for international &
domestic at North and South Concourses) for flights departing from remote
aircraft stands. The facility will improve passenger experience when remote
aircraft stands are utilized. Each departure bus lounge (and associated bus pick-
up bays) to be sized to handle the forecast demand for remote aircraft stand
operation, when the airport is operating at the ultimate capacity of MPPA.
Provision of direct access for arriving domestic travel passengers from transit
boarding level to domestic baggage claim hall.
Ensure handling capacity is sufficient at all key touch points until additional
capacity provided by Option Area is ready for use.
Bussing operations would be done for flights departing from remote parking
stands.
The extended North and South Concourses would be installed with travellators in
order to reduce passenger walking distance and improve passenger comfort.
Page of
Passengers of different demographic profiles would require a variety of facilities
during their journey through KFIA. These facilities range from washrooms;
prayer rooms for religious activities; clinic for medical support; playground,
internet kiosks, snooze kiosks, common lounges, business kiosks, and lounges,
etc. Sufficient space at strategic locations must also be catered for passenger
seating throughout the terminal. An intuitive wayfinding system, supported by
well-designed and well-positioned flow signs, is essential for passengers to
effortlessly locate these facilities. In addition, the location and design of each
facility should also take into consideration the downstream maintenance
requirements as well as life-cycle maintenance costs.
Provision of face lift to existing way finding, signages and graphics outside
Option Area to achieve consistency and coherent integration with those
proposed in Option Area.
To soften the hard terminal interiors and natural greenery, space shall be
provisioned for indoor horticulture and landscaping. Landscapes can be used for
aesthetic and functional reasons. Key considerations for landscaping needs
should be incorporated in the planning stage.
e) Commercial
The MDC shall study, in totality, the existing commercial spaces for KFIA,
including the existing commercial spaces outside the Option area, and propose
commercial layout strategy options that are integrated with the proposed
passenger flows for the terminal that can best maximize sales and commercial
revenue as required for the entire Project. The MDC is to develop an integrated
commercial plan layout incorporating all commercial facilities, including but
not limited to the commercial facilities such as retail, F&B, offices, airline
lounges, pay per use Lounges, car rental, taxi, travel and ticketing agencies,
banks, money changers, for the entire terminal such that the proposals integrate
seamlessly and coherently with the architectural concept and framework.
The MDC is to create an exciting and attractive retail and dining experience for
passengers, meeters and greeters through an intuitive overall commercial plan
layout, thoughtful zoning that cleverly and seamlessly integrates with the airport
Page of
facilities.
Optimise the layouts of the departure lounges and landside areas to leverage on
the natural flow of passengers and airport visitors, with thoughtful zoning,
accessibility and visibility of retail areas to maximise footfall, shop penetration
and dwell times for maximum commercial returns.
While waiting for their departing flights, passengers dwelling in the departure
lounges should feel peaceful, comfortable and cosy, before they embark on their
journey. Focusing on the passengers need to decompress and relax, the
thoughtful use of design would create pockets of oases for anxious and tired
passengers. In the retail and dining areas, enticing design and attractive window
displays would certainly enhance passengers mood for shopping and dining.
The retail character should be vibrant and yet cosy for all shoppers and possess a
unique personality. The commercial plan layout has to provide good visibility
and frontage for all outlets, laid out in an intuitive manner that supports natural
passenger movements and maximises purchases from passengers. The retail and
dining offering is expected to appeal to both premium as well as mass affluent
passengers.
Both architecture and ambience must also lend itself to achieve the objective of
developing a maintainable and environmentally friendly and sustainable
building and facilities comfortable, functional and energy efficient.
Building elements, facilities and fabric must be easy to maintain and require
minimal manpower to clean and manage. Materials and fittings used should
have a low life-cycle cost.
All systems shall be designed for ease of maintenance that requires minimal
resources and cost to sustain the maintenance operations. Considerations shall
be given to the space in and around the equipment to facilitate the maintenance
works as well as future addition and replacement of equipment. The ADC shall
also ensure adequacy of spare capacity for major equipment to cater for future
expansion. To further increase the productivity level of the maintenance staff,
considerations shall be given to a higher degree of automation that will enable
the equipment to switch over to the standby equipment automatically, as well as
provide early warning of impending failures that require the attention of the
maintenance staff. An integrated dashboard display incorporating the operating
status of major equipment shall be provided to create better situational
awareness.
All systems shall be designed with sufficient redundancy and features to ensure
high availability:
Page of
(i) during disruption of water and power supply;
(ii) during equipment failure; and
(iii) to facilitate shut down of equipment for regular maintenance.
Besides designing redundancy into the system, attentive details should also be
given to the design of the equipment to minimize any potential damages or
failures that can arise from the use of the equipment.
All systems shall be designed to achieve high efficiencies and low energy
consumption and yet provide a comfortable environment for the passengers.
Where applicable, energy savings features shall be incorporated to reduce
energy consumption during non- peak hours or when the equipment is not in use
or when alternative source of supply such as natural lighting is available. Energy
monitoring system shall also be provided to allow trending of energy
consumption so as to identify further opportunities for energy savings.
Consideration shall also be given to recycle and reuse grey and rainwater
collected from the Terminal. Electric charging points shall also be provided to
encourage the use of electric vehicles in the apron areas.
The MDC shall explore beyond traditional system design to identify innovative
solutions to improve the productivity of the airport workers community. This
shall include proposals to automate processes which are traditionally carried out
manually in the airport. For example implementation of pneumatic waste
processing system to reduce the manpower needed for the housekeeping team.
The Tenderer shall be mindful that the design proposal must be implementable and
buildable with flexibility to enable the building facilities to be expanded on or
remodeled in the future to respond to changes in operational needs without too much
interruption to normal operations. It should also afford the flexibility to reconfigure
commercial areas and retail outlets over time to meet changing needs and trends. Future
adaptation or expansion works shall have minimal disruption to the operations.
The design proposal must be within the submitted estimated construction cost. It should
also be safe to build and safe to carry out maintenance when the facilities are in
operation.
Value engineering can be carried out to achieve the stated objectives both in terms of
quality and cost and time effectiveness.
The MDC shall be required to work with and liaise with all the consultants, contractors
and vendors, and to ensure that where necessary the study and design is properly
coordinated and integrated and subsequently the work under the main contractor is
properly coordinated with the work under all the consultants such that the entire project
progresses without undue delay or conflict between the parties involved. This will also
include liaising with internal and external agencies to seek, confirm and consolidate all
users requirements; providing cost estimates and making presentations, including the
use of all necessary write-ups, drawings, artist s impressions, perspective views, 1:1
mock ups, 3-D computer images and 3-D video walkthroughs as and when requested
by the Owner.
Page of
The MDC shall prepare and coordinate with all the consultants, contractors and
external consultants, for any presentations, site walks, viewings and clarifications
as and when requested by the Owner. As and when necessary, coordinate and
discuss with the work groups, specialists or leasing agents designated by the Owner
to finalize the design.
The MDC is to coordinate with all the consultants, contractors and external consultants,
taking into consideration the current plans undertaken by the Owner, to provide the
schedule for the whole proposed development project.
