Subject: Recommended Construction Materials

Here are my recommendations on materials to be used at the new airport.

For flooring, I suggest ceramic title with a rough surface. I know ceramic tile is brittle. But if installed
correctly, it will not crack easily. Marble tile is too smooth. It can cause people to slip if there are
wet spots.

Use transparent glass for the partitions between the areas you mentioned. Opaque glass results in
safety concerns. Airport security personnel will not have a clear view between areas.

Copper wiring is reliable and durable conductor for the electrical system. Choose wiring with a
plastic insulator, such as polyethylene. I also recommend ductile copper tubing for the water pipes.
It is malleable enough to be shaped around any obstacles.
