Novo terminal de passageiros para o aeroporto de Salinópolis

Abstract

The city of Salinópolis is located in the northeastern part of the state of Pará, in the Salgado microregion, and is situated 220 km from Belém, the capital of the state. The access by land is through the highways BR-316 and PA-124. In 2021, the Government of Pará reopened the Salinas airport, featuring a 1.9 km runway with lighting and the capacity to accommodate aircraft with up to 60 passengers, enabling the landing of commercial planes. However, the current airport infrastructure requires improvements. The aim of this work is to develop an architectural draft for a new passenger terminal for the Salinópolis-PA municipality. The research is qualitative and is based on data collection regarding the growth of tourist demand in Salinópolis-PA and the development of airport projects collected from major standards and manuals for such constructions, such as NBR 9050, NBR 9077, NBR 10720, ANAC's pre-project manual, and the Federal Government's Ministry of Infrastructure Airport Project Manual. Related airport projects that could contribute to architectural and structural system solutions, as well as existing airport typologies, were also analyzed. Field research was conducted to identify the deficiencies of the current airport, perform a cadastral and iconographic survey of the building and the land, and evaluate the surroundings. The program requirements were defined through INFRAERO documents. The design concept was developed using SketchUp software, and the technical documentation, including plans, sections, and elevations, was created using Revit software. The new passenger terminal for the Salinópolis airport was designed in the same location as the existing building but with improved infrastructure. It accommodates a larger passenger capacity, introduces new spaces not present in the current configuration, and prevents the use of architectural elements from the existing building due to a significant expansion of the airport area. The architectural project for the airport passenger terminal was realized with a 3,390 m2 area on the ground floor and 1,485 m2 on the upper floor, totaling 4,875 m2.
