“Pier D” expansion - Vancouver International Airport (YVR)

The Pier D - Phase 1 expansion project will include four bridge gates and four retention rooms for processing and loading passengers onto buses to board aircrafts parked on remote platforms. These facilities must be located at Level 3 and Level 2 at the apron level. In addition to passenger facilities and facilities for departures and arrivals, the first phase will also create a new retail and restaurant space, combined with a thematic outdoor garden. The project will add more than 20,000 m2 to the 280,000 m2 complex.

The Pier D - Phase 2 Expansion Project will consist of gates, holds, corridors and arrival junctions, bathrooms and commercial developments for four more extended deck aircraft doors.
