AA--66 NOVEMBER 7, 2011 ORANGE COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL JWA Advertising Supplement

n behalf of John Wayne Airport, OrangeCounty, it is an honor for me to announcethe opening of Terminal C and ParkingStructure C.As the cornerstone of the multi-year Air-

port Improvement Program, the new facili-ties truly exemplify our theme: “Building on

Excellence.” While we are proud of the new fa-cilities, we are even more proud of the improved servicesand convenience they will provide to our passengers and theeconomic benefits they will bring to our community.The construction associated with the Airport Improvement

Program (AIP) created more than 6,600 much-needed jobs.A 2010 Orange County Business Council economic impactstudy found that the project resulted in nearly $1.2 billion ofdirect and indirect economic benefit to the community. It isimportant to note that these benefits are generated – and ourconstruction has been funded – without the use of tax dol-lars.Terminal C adds nearly 300,000 square feet to the existing

Thomas F. Riley Terminal and is home to six new gates,more security lanes, three new baggage carousels and a widevariety of new dining and shopping options. The new build-ing will likely feel familiar to travelers – it was designed toblend seamlessly with the existing facility. Although the de-sign is similar to what they’re used to, travelers may need tomake some adjustments to their routines when visiting theairport (see “Travel Tips for JWA,” below right). One of themost exciting technology improvements we’ve added is anew passenger-friendly, state-of-the-art computer systemthat will allow passengers to use any kiosk in any terminal toprint boarding passes. Travelers have told us over the years that they’d like more

variety in dining and shopping concessions. We listened! We are very excited about the addition ofsome terrific new venues for our passengers – many with a distinctly Orange County feel. We aredoubling the amount of space dedicated to our concessions and bringing in some amazing new part-ners: Anaheim Ducks, Carl’s Jr., Caterina’s, Javi’s, Jerry’s Wood-Fired Dogs, Ruby’s and Zov’s. Wehope passengers will be inspired to come to the airport a little earlier than usual to enjoy the newdining and shopping options before catching their flight.In addition to providing a great customer experience, we know that the most important part of our

business is offering service to destinations that our customers want. In the past six months, we’veannounced new service to Vancouver and Calgary, Canada, and seasonal service to Mammoth – andwe are firmly committed to bringing more new routes to JWA. The new facilities in Terminal C, in-cluding a new international arrivals area, will enable us to do just that. Stay tuned for more in thecoming months.None of these improvements and benefits would be possible, of course, without the vision and

leadership of the Orange County Board of Supervisors. We very much appreciate their, and the Or-ange County Airport Commission’s, commitment to providing the highest-quality aviation servicesand facilities to the Orange County community.In closing, we are delighted to open our doors to the community and the traveling public. We

hope you travel with us soon.

the Chuck Jones studio, this exhibition wasguest curated by Orange County animatorand artist Bob Pece.

2001 Dark Room & DigitalThe Clayton Spada guest-curated exhibi-

tion featured the best of fine art photographycreated in both the standard darkroommethod and the then-expanding and relativelynew format of digital photography. It por-trayed the fact that both methods have strongartistic legitimacy.

California’s minor league teams and featuringhistoric imagery, the exhibit was derived froma photo-documentary book project by LagunaBeach-based photojournalist and co-guest cu-rator Tammy Lechner.

contemporary clay or ceramic art was producedmainly in Orange County. Prior to this showing,the only other survey of contemporary OrangeCounty clay was done in 1995 at SaddlebackCollege. From works of traditional technical pu-rity to those of purposely flawed and raw claywork, Orange County was shown to be con-tributing to contemporary clay art. Californiahas had a huge impact on ceramics nationallyand internationally with the likes of PeterVoulkos and Paul Soldner, to name a few.

Orange County – Birthplace of Modern HangGlidingProviding a brief look back at how hang glid-

ing got its start, this exhibition focused on whathang gliding has become: a graceful sport thathas matured into a fully respectable form of avi-ation.

f you’re visiting John Wayne Airport, youmight notice a few folks dressed in red jacketsor vests with a “May I Help You?” button ontheir lapels. These are the JWA Ambassadors,volunteers who share the responsibility of as-sisting passengers and visitors to the Airport.

These terrific volunteers, many of whomhave decades of experience in the field of aviation, edu-cate visitors about JWA’s history as well as providefun, interesting and useful facts about the Thomas F.Riley Terminal.

John Wayne Airport is fortunate to have approxi-mately 80 dedicated local citizens acting as volunteerAmbassadors. The objective of the Volunteer Ambassa-dor Program is to provide Airport users with friendly,informed service that enhances their experience atJohn Wayne Airport.

Ambassadors are trained in customer service to as-sist passengers with questions they have about JohnWayne Airport’s facilities or services. Information theyprovide includes directions to particular airlines, gates,restaurants, restrooms, phones and rental-car coun-ters, to name just a few.

What is it like to be a JWA Ambassador? For the an-swer to that, we spoke with six-year Ambassador FredWelch, who also serves as a volunteer ProfessionalServices Responder for the Orange County Sheriff’sDepartment, a docent at the Lyon Air Museum and atour guide at Centennial Farm (the OC Fair’s farm). It’ssafe to say Fred is well versed in providing service toOrange County and the aviation community!

When did you become a volunteer?

In 2006, when I retired, I decided I couldn’tjust golf every day or watch TV all day long, soI Googled “Volunteer Work in Orange County”and that led me to JWA. I met Volunteer Coordi-nator Jill Matthews and became an Ambassador.

You also volunteer at many other organiza-tions, two of which — Airport Police Servicesand the Lyon Air Museum — are located hereat the Airport. How did you become involvedwith these groups?

While working as a JWA Ambassador, Ilearned about Centennial Farm [a three-acreworking farm at the OC Fair & Event Centercreated to educate youth about agriculture andits importance to daily life] and I became a vol-unteer there. Also through JWA I heard about theProfessional Services Responders (PSRs) whowork with the O.C. Sheriff’s Department here at

the Airport. My role as a PSR at John Wayne Air-port is completely different than my role as an Am-bassador. When the Lyon Air Museum opened, theAmbassadors were invited to tour the building, andduring the tour, they asked if anyone would be in-terested in becoming a docent there, so I joined thatprogram also.

You are pretty busy for being retired! Howmany days a week do you volunteer?

Four days a week. Have to leave one for golf!

What is your background?

I was born in Cork, Ireland, and came to theUnited States in 1957. I joined the Armed Services,where I served as a military police officer and alsolearned how to fly. Eventually I became employedin the public-relations sector of a major oil com-pany, and moved to Los Angeles, where I met mywife of 43 years. We currently live in Seal Beach.

What is the most popular question you areasked as an Ambassador?

“Where is the closest restroom?,” followedclosely by “Where is my gate?”

What is your favorite part about your volun-teer work at JWA?

Mostly, I enjoy helping people, especiallythose who have special needs. I love beingaround the people who work and travel here.Being a JWA Ambassador is a wonderful way forme to be a part of the Airport family.

Interested in becoming a JWA Ambassador?Contact Jill Matthews at [email protected] (949) 252-5168 for more information on theJWA Volunteer Programs Or, visit the County ofOrange website ocgov.com for other volunteeropportunities.

uided tours of the Thomas F. Riley Ter-minal are available, free of charge.Groups are led by community volun-teers trained to be tour guides. Theyprovide explanations of the Riley Ter-

minal architecture and airport history. They educatevisitors about the aircraft that fly in and out of JohnWayne Airport. Guides begin tours at the JohnWayne Statue with a brief presentation. The tourmoves through both the arrival and departure levelsof one of the terminals, including a stop to visitwith the skycaps. Participants will see airline ticketcounter areas, a view of the security screeningcheckpoints and flight information display moni-tors. Because of heightened security, tour groupsare not permitted through the security screeningcheckpoint or in other secure areas of the Riley Ter-minal. Many tours conclude with a visit to the top of

one of the parking structures adjacent to the RileyTerminal, where participants can view activity onthe airfield, as well as airplanes taking off and land-ing — often the highlight of the tour.Children are given a JWA Activity Book that in-

cludes various airplanes to color, the pilot’s pho-netic alphabet, a word search, maze,connect-the-dots and other educational activities. Volunteer tour guides, including private pilots,

teachers, executives and Airport employees, donatetheir time to support this important aviation educa-tion program. Volunteers bring their unique expert-ise and tremendous enthusiasm to each and everytour. Tours are scheduled in advance (two or more

weeks) and are offered at non-peak traffic hours,usually between 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Mondaythrough Friday. Saturday tours may also bearranged. The tour lasts approximately 1½ hours. Tour groups can be as small as two or three par-

ticipants, and are limited to a maximum of 25, in-cluding chaperones. Larger groups (a maximum of50 people on a given day) can be accommodated,but will be divided into two groups who will tourconcurrently. Children must be at least 6 years oldand/or in the first grade and must be accompanied

by an appropriate number of adult chaperones. Highschool and college tours may be arranged featuringaviation career speakers. Adult groups are also mostwelcome. Convenient parking is available in all lots at regular

JWA parking rates. Because of heightened security, all

vehicles may be searched when entering the park-ing structures.To schedule a tour, contact Jill Matthews at

Marble is a metamorphic rock and is theresult of extreme heat and pressure appliedto limestone. The distinctive crystallinestructure of marble allows it to be polishedto a high gloss, which creates the illusionof depth.

Jurastone is a limestone marble native to Eu-rope and is mined in quarries in Germany.This stone has natural glass/quartz veinsand variable fossils that are visible on itsbeige background.

While the limestone that makes up theRiley Terminal was mined in Germany, itwas sent to Italy to be cut by specializedmarble cutters, ensuring the precise andclean lines that have helped establish theRiley Terminal as a unique architecturallandmark in Orange County.

Other items found in the Riley Terminalcome from throughout the United Statesand the world:

• Translucent glass partitions (skycap locations) – Wisconsin

• Expansion joints – Pennsylvania• Terminal clock mechanism – Ohio• Ceramic tile (restrooms) – Italy• Stainless steel claddings and surfaces – New York

• Cabinetry – Texas• Light fixtures – Florida• Carpet – North Carolina

ohn Wayne Airport (SNA) is ownedby the County of Orange and is op-erated as a self-supporting enter-prise that receives no general fundtax revenue. The Airport serves ap-proximately 9 million passengersannually, reaches 20 non-stop des-tinations in the United States and

Canada and is served by nine commer-cial, two commuter passenger and two all-cargo airlines. With over $.5 billion beinginvested in the Capital Improvement Pro-gram (CIP), there are extensive economicimpacts with a net benefit to OrangeCounty between $1.1 billion and $1.2 bil-lion as a result of these investments. TheCIP created 6,670 total jobs and for everyone dollar invested in the Airportʼs CapitalImprovement Program, more than two dol-lars are circulated back into the economy.Thatʼs more than $1 billion of benefit thatthis community will see as a result of theAirportʼs Capital Improvement Program.

he nearly nine million passengers who traverse the Thomas F.Riley Terminal at John Wayne Airport each year will no doubtnotice and appreciate the new facilitiesʼ many amenities, fromthe wide variety of concessions and more efficient passengerand baggage screening, to the improved parking access andeven the four new art displays.

Less noticeable to travelers – but no less significant an improvement –is the new, $30.5 million Central Utility Plant. Completed as a design-build project by West Coast Air Conditioning Co., this innovative facilitysupplies electrical power and chilled water to serve the air conditioningsystem for the entire airport 24/7/365.

Immunity to blackoutsThe new plant replaces an approximately 40-year-old, outdated facility.

One of its most important features is that this cogeneration plant gives itsowner, the County of Orange, the security of a consistently reliablesource of power, making John Wayne Airport a sustainable facility that isvirtually independent from Southern California Edison.

“Our cogeneration clients choose this path to obtain significant cost-savings,” says West Cost Airʼs president, David Dudley, “but for the ma-jority of them who own facilities where even a momentary interruption inpower service canʼt be tolerated, reliability is the crucial factor.”

At the airportʼs new plant, four natural-gas-fired engines run generatorsto produce 7.8 megawatt-hours of electricity – enough to power 6,000average homes – allowing the airport to be mostly independent fromSouthern California Edison and thus stay online during a blackout.

“This reliability is an enormous plus,” Dudley notes. “The plant hasbeen operating since late last year and has proven itself several times al-ready during power outages.”

Sustainable featuresPower generation is just one of the Central Utility Plantʼs purposes. The

other is the capture and reuse of the 950-degree exhaust heat emitted bythe engines that drive the generators. This heat is used to create 240-de-gree water which in turn is used to drive two 535-ton absorption chillersthat provide what is, essentially, free chilled water used to air conditionthe airportʼs various buildings.

With more than 725,000 square feet of space in airport buildings to aircondition, three 750-ton centrifugal chillers powered by electricity gener-ated at the plant are put into service to produce chilled water alongsidethe two absorption chillers.

Cost-savingsNow that itʼs operational, the Central Utility plant is expected to save

the County roughly $2 million per year in electricity costs. In fact, Dudleynotes, the cogeneration portion of the plant is expected to pay for itself inapproximately ten years and to serve the airportʼs needs for another twodecades or more after that.

Cost-savings began accruing long before the plant became operational,however. By electing to make this a design-build project rather than a tra-ditional design-bid-build project, the County set the stage for the project tobe completed more quickly. West Coast Air was able to begin constructionof the foundations and walls of the 11,000-square-foot building thathouses the plantʼs equipment while the mechanical and electrical systemswere still in design, thus compressing the schedule.

Several significant cost-savings were realized long before constructionbegan. During the projectʼs six-month design phase, West Coast Air per-sonnel brought their specialized expertise to bear, providing ideas thatwould result in the plantʼs paying for itself more quickly. Through value

Construction of the plantʼs 11,000-square-foot building began several monthsbefore the design of the mechanical and electrical systems it houses wascomplete. Prior to the start of construction, West Coast Air ensured that the siteʼsexisting, mature palm trees were safely relocated and remained undisturbedthroughout the projectʼs duration.

Construction of the Central Utility Plant was an extremely complex andenormous undertaking. West Coast Air and its subcontractors worked 107,290man-hours, the equivalent of 50 man-years, to complete the project without asingle lost-time accident.

Thousands of cars and commercial trucks going into the airport each day traveledpast the horseshoe-shaped site where the central plant was constructed, requiringWest Coast Air to perform all heavy rigging between midnight and 4:00 a.m. andmaking the maintenance of smooth traffic flow a daily challenge. With no storagespace on the site, the contractor employed just-in-time delivery of materials for im-mediate installation.

The airportʼs Central Utility Plant is the most recent of more than 100 central and co-generation plants constructed by West Coast Air. Others include a seven-megawattcogeneration plant and three central plants at Marine Corps Air Ground CombatCenter Twentynine Palms; a $15 million, 4.3-megawatt cogeneration plant at NavalMedical Hospital San Diego; and numerous plants at schools, colleges and universi-ties throughout Southern California.

West Coast Air is a general contractor, notsolely a builder of mechanical and electricalsystems, and that the company builds entireschool campuses from the ground up. With anaverage of 120 employees working in eighttrades, West Coast Air employs as many as170 workers in the summer months, whenschool construction peaks. Currently, the gen-eral contractor is in the middle of a $150 mil-lion renovation and upgrade of nine schools inthe Los Alamitos Unified School District,among other school projects.

The companyʼs third area of specialty is inenergy reduction for schools, military facilities,cities and counties. This work entails the re-placement of air-conditioning and lighting sys-tems, the provision of thermal andphotovoltaic solar systems, and the use of al-ternative power-generation systems.

Dudley brushes off the suggestion thatWest Coast Air should consider changing itsname, saying, “We do just fine the way weare.” Thatʼs a bit of an understatement, how-ever. The company remains busy throughboth good and bad times in the constructionindustry, Dudley notes, and its network ofclients – who have confidence in West CoastAirʼs ability and insistence upon perfection –allow the general contractor to thrive whileothers in the industry fail.

Whatʼs more, nearly 90 percent of WestCoast Airʼs business comes from repeatclients who appreciate that the company iswhat Dudley calls “an ownerʼs contractor.” Bythis he means that, in an industry too oftencharacterized by adversarial relationships,West Coast Air consistently strives to providethe ultimate system an owner can have, on orahead of schedule and often under budget.

“We focus on developing creative solutions,on working in a collaborative spirit with everyowner, and on adding value to every projectwe construct,” Dudley says.

Itʼs a formula for success. “I would havethem back in a heartbeat,” JWAʼs Catheysays.

proud to count the County of Orange as a repeatclient for cogeneration facilities.”

In fact, West Coast Air is a dominant leader inthe construction of these types of facilities.Founded by David Dudleyʼs father, Fred Dudley,in 1962, the company built its first cogenerationplant in 1978. In its nearly 50-year history – thecompany will celebrate that milestone anniver-sary next year – West Coast Air has constructedmore than 100 central and cogeneration plants.

Specialized expertiseAs the prime design-build contractor for the

airportʼs central plant, West Coast Air enlistedSyska Hennessy Group as its design consultant.In so doing, it reunited the team that designedand constructed the County of Orangeʼs earliercogeneration project.

Whatʼs more, all six men on West Coast AirʼsCentral Utility Plant project management teamworked together on the earlier project as well –and, Dudley is proud to point out, they have acombined total of 172 years of construction-in-dustry experience. He also notes that every proj-ect that West Coast Air takes on is managed bya corporate officer: He served as project execu-tive for both Orange County projects, with com-pany Vice President John Krueger as projectmanager.

For the airport project, West Coast Air subcon-tracted the electrical work to Baker Electric, acompany with which the general contractor hasteamed many times on cogeneration and centralplant projects. Bakerʼs work included running175,000 lineal feet – 33 miles – of electricalwiring from the plant to various locationsthroughout the airport.

Other key players were Cummins Power Gen-eration, for provision of the heat reclamation andemission systems, Parsons TransportationGroup for program management and BarnhartBalfour Beatty for construction management.

Deceptive name“Donʼt be fooled by our companyʼs name,”

Dudley comments. Heʼs referring to the fact that

engineering, the team was able to enhance theamount of heat to reclaim off exhaust – so-called free heat – and provided an additional150 tons of free chilled water by this heat-recla-mation process.

During its constructability reviews of the pro-jectʼs design, West Coast Air focused on howto build the new plant while allowing the entireairport to remain operational throughout the 14-month construction schedule. Originally theCounty had contemplated a separate switchingstation; however, thanks to West Coast Airʼsinput, this element was deleted from the scopefor a seamless transition from the old centralplant to the new – and for a savings of nearly$500,000 thanks to the elimination of unneces-sary work.

“From the projectʼs inception, West CoastAirʼs management team explained to us exactlywhat needed to happen in order for us to getwhat we wanted,” says John Wayne AirportProject Manager Rick Cathey. “In many in-stances, they interpreted what we wanted be-fore we even knew what it was.

“When construction was underway, westepped aside and trusted them to do what ittook to make it all happen. Thatʼs why I callthem the get-out-of-the-way contractor,” hejokes.

Cogeneration expertsIn response to the 2001 rolling blackouts

throughout California, the County of Orange in-stituted a program to upgrade the central plantfunctions of the Santa Ana Civic Center to re-duce dependence on the local utility powergrid. The County tapped West Coast Air for theproject, and in 2009 the company completedthe construction of a $30 million, 10.4-megawatt cogeneration plant that serves 16County buildings in the heart of downtownSanta Ana.

West Coast Airʼs highly successful perform-ance on that project, which was brought in ontime and under budget, was repeated with theairport project. As Dudley remarks, “We are



hen John Wayne Airport (JWA) orig-inally asked Gensler to design theThomas F. Riley Terminal in 1985,they wanted a terminal that offered

passengers and Orange County residents abetter travel experience. Since its opening in1990, Iʼm proud to say that the Riley Terminalhas become recognized for its clear organiza-tion and architectural character. In a post-9/11travel era where increased security is the newnormal, thatʼs high praise.

Today, passengers judge airports on thequality of their personal travel experiences.Good terminals minimize hassle and pro-vide necessary amenities, while the bestones capture the spirit and excitement thatwas integral to air travel in years past. Wecaptured that spirit in our original design,and weʼre honored to continue our work withthe design of the new Terminal C. Our goal issimple: Weʼre looking to elevate the passengerexperience in a pat-down world.

When JWA first began work with us on Termi-nal C, they asked us to integrate the new struc-ture seamlessly into the existing airport. Wemaintained our original goal to offer travelers abetter travel experience and retained the archi-tectural style and color palette from the RileyTerminal. The 280,000-square-foot terminal in-creases John Wayne Airportʼs capacity from 8.4million annual passengers (MAP) to 10.8 MAPand has the capacity to operate domestic andinternational flights.

Putting the passenger firstOur original design for the Riley Terminal is

predicated on putting passengers first, andlooking for many opportunities to make airtravel clear, comfortable and easy. We accom-plished that by emphasizing intuitive way-find-

ing through spacious, accessible pathways. Thatdesign strategy continues to receive rave reviewsfrom passengers, so the challenge facing Genslerwith Terminal C was to find a way to replicate thatstrategy while building around an existing termi-nal, conforming to building codes that had signifi-cantly changed and ensuring the construction didnot impact existing airport operations.

I am proud to say that we were able to meet allof those criteria and deliver the terminal on timeand under budget. The Gensler design team re-

sponsible for this feat included several individualswho worked on the Riley Terminal and had astrong sense of the airportʼs history and the chal-lenges inherent to the structure.

Terminal C replicates the barrel-vaulted ceilingsused in the Riley Terminal, providing a dramaticvisual contrast to the horizontal simplicity of anadjacent parking structure. Departing passengersare greeted by an entrance that is manageableand easy to navigate. Departure facilities are lo-cated on the upper level and arrival accommoda-tions on the lower level, separating the twopassenger groups to minimize foot traffic andeconomize certain building functions and overallsquare footage.

A standardized check-inOne of the problems commonly found in termi-

nals is the inconsistency and confusing nature ofcheck-in procedures. Genslerʼs design team alle-viated this problem in Terminal C by installingcommon-use terminal equipment (CUTE) that

standardizes check-in. Now the airport oper-ates check-in for all airlines, meaning there is asingle straightforward procedure that gets pas-sengers to their gates in as little time as possi-ble.

One of the unique aspects of Genslerʼs origi-nal design for John Wayne Airport was the ideathat the baggage claim area was an importantspace worthy of attention rather than just aplace to stick a system of conveyor belts. Webuilt upon this idea in Terminal C, designing the

baggage claim area in the style of the grandconcourses found in old European railroadstations. A huge 70-foot-high vaulted roof ad-mits a large amount of light, a characteristicfound in few baggage claim areas, creatingan exciting and unique sense of arrival thatwelcomes passengers to Southern Califor-

nia. The layout helps passengers grab theirbags and proceed to the ground transportationareas with ease.

Retail and hospitalityAnother important point of emphasis with

Terminal C was to design a retail and conces-sions area that was not only suitable in termsof size and location but harmonious with thesurrounding architecture. Since passengersnow tend to arrive at airports earlier and spendthe majority of their time in terminals waiting forflights, it is imperative that terminals provide awide range of food and retail options. Airportsheavily depend on the revenue generated fromtheir retail and concession spaces, so ensuringthat Terminal C could attract quality conces-sionaires was a priority for JWA officials.

To do this, Gensler leveraged the expertiseof the firmʼs renowned retail and hospitalitypractice areas. Our designers created an openspace with a neutral color palette that allows

individual concessionaires to add colors whichsync up with their particular brands. Shades ofbeige/sand-colored stone tile create a comfort-able, appealing aesthetic. Each kiosk is de-signed with its specific location in mind andcomplements the vaulted concourse. Fromlocal coffee shops to bars to California restau-rants, Terminal C offers something for everypassenger. Our design also paid close atten-tion to the North and South Commuter holdrooms, which replace temporary facilities notsuitable for long-term use. The North HoldRoomʼs visibility from Interstate 405 allows it toserves as a beacon for arriving passengers,and given the airportʼs statue as an importantpiece of public architecture, we designed theNorth Hold Room to reflect the quality and vi-sion of the airport. Finally, Terminal C echoesthe commitment to sustainability and environ-mental stewardship found throughout Califor-nia. The team called for LED lighting fixturesthroughout Terminal C that reduce energy useper square foot by 50 percent.

Building on a legacyMy colleague David Loyola, who served as

the project architect and design director, said itbest when he told California Construction mag-azine, “We feel like weʼre coming back 20 yearslater and improving on the current design.”Gensler has a long-standing relationship withJohn Wayne Airport and Orange County, andwe wanted our work on Terminal C to reflect thehistory of JWA while pointing to the future of airtravel. We hope the terminal captures the dis-tinct spirit of Southern California, and that resi-dents of Orange County are proud to call thisterminal their own.
