Project Description

Over the years, the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (STIA) Main Terminal has gone through multiple expansions and renovations, resulting in an aging, non-code compliant patchwork electrical system. Casne Engineering was tasked with assessing, updating, and replacing the electrical distribution equipment that had reached its life expectancy or was damaged, antiquated, or over-dutied.

Initially, Casne conducted a condition assessment by surveying around 600 panels, transformers, and MCCs in the Main Terminal, and updated the Port of Seattle drawings and panel schedules for all electrical panels and MCCs that were field investigated.

Subsequently, Casne produced design documents for renewing and replacing the low-voltage (480/277V and 208/120V) distribution system within the Main Terminal. The project aimed to address end-of-life, over-dutied, and non-code compliant low-voltage electrical distribution equipment. Casne worked in close collaboration with the General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) and Electrical Contractor/Construction Manager (EC/CM) to design a construction sequence that minimized impact on the tenants and the public in the Main Terminal.

This comprehensive approach aimed to modernize and improve the airport's electrical infrastructure, ensuring safety, efficiency, and reliability for the years to come.
