Dulles International Airport Concourse E Expansion
Dulles International Airport’s new 440,000-square-foot, 14-gate concourse serves United Airlines, enhancing passenger experience and operational efficiency. Page provided electrical and fire alarm services and led the low-voltage design—including communications, security, public address, and distributed antenna systems—in partnership with ArchKey Solutions.
The concourse features gatehouses and hold rooms for domestic and international passengers, along with a curated selection of retail, dining, and hospitality spaces. The apron level supports maintenance, airport operations, and facility support systems, while the top floor houses arrivals for international flights and a new 40,000-square-foot United Airlines club.
Designed for flexibility and efficiency, the concourse accommodates narrow- and wide-body aircraft at every gate. Retractable passenger boarding bridges seamlessly adjust to serve various aircraft sizes, enhancing operational adaptability.
New 14-Gate Concourse
At Dulles International Airport, Page, in collaboration with Arc-Key Solutions, designed critical infrastructure to support seamless operations and passenger experience.
Our electrical design introduced two new 34.5KV–480Y/277V, 4000A double-ended substations and repurposed another powering the Automated People Mover (APM) below ground. To ensure uninterrupted operations, an additional, temporary 34.5KV–480Y, 3200A substation powered a dedicated chiller plant throughout construction.
The fire alarm system seamlessly integrated with the APM infrastructure while functioning independently for the new concourse. The low-voltage design included copper and fiber cabling infrastructure throughout the building to airport displays, speakers, devices, MDF and IDF rooms, access control, and security cameras throughout, establishing a secure, high-capacity network.
With a focus on resiliency and innovation, Page’s solutions ensure that the concourse operates reliably now and into the future.
