The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) is an independent airport authority, created with the consent of the United States Congress to oversee management, operations, and capital development of the two major airports serving the U.S. national capital: Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Dulles International Airport.

SETTY has been associated with MWAA on a wide variety of projects ranging from engineering design to professional study. Shown below are a few representative projects.

Rehabilitation Program Terminal C-D Dulles International Airport, Dulles, VA

A facility condition assessment was conducted on Concourse C/D, forming the basis of a multi-year expenditure forecast report. The assessment involved various activities, including site evaluations, interviews with management and maintenance personnel, and a review of available maintenance records and design and construction documents. The assessment aimed to identify any visually apparent deficiencies in the building and its systems. Its results helped to generate a report that forecasted expenditures over several years.

Building Code Plan Reviews, Dulles, VA

Building codes plan review and Building code inspection services at the Ronald Reagan Washington National & Washington Dulles International Airports to support the MWAA Building Codes Inspection program.

Green Roof Study for Three Buildings, IAD, DCA Dulles, VA & Washington, DC

MEP and sustainable modeling services for the MWAA green roof study involving three buildings. Scope also involved evaluating various green roof technologies to create an effective and sustainable implementation plan

Triturator Study, Washington, DC

Engineering services were provided to forecast the future triturator requirements based on a common-use facility. The analysis involved establishing a baseline against existing facilities and capacities, considering the level of activity and volumes by time of day. The purpose was to predict the future requirements for the triturator accurately.

Washington International Airport, Miscellaneous Electrical Work Hanger 5, Dulles, VA

Prepared electrical construction documents that outlined the necessary electrical work, allowing contractors to competitively bid and undertake the project's construction. The design process involved conducting surveys, performing research, and developing calculations to create complete contract drawings and short specifications.

Washington International Airport, Repair Sprinkler System, Concourse B, Dulles, VA

Conducted an analysis of the design considerations required for repairing the damaged sprinklers and piping in the Concourse B building

DCA Terminal A Facility Assessment, Washington, DC

Served as the MEP/FP consultant for Ricondo and Associates, contracted by the Airports Authority Planning Department, to conduct a comprehensive facility analysis of the DCA Terminal A Building. The analysis covered MEP/FP, fire alarm, and control systems, and was necessary to identify and prioritize infrastructure projects that would extend the building's life and functionality for another ten years. The Terminal A Building spans approximately 350,000 square feet at Reagan National Airport.

Firearms Training Facility, MEP/FP Design. Dulles, VA

MEP/FP design for a project that involved the construction of three firing ranges, including bullet containment systems, range material and ammunition storage, and a training building. The firing ranges comprised two 50-yard pistol ranges with walls/earthen berms surrounding two or three sides and a ballistic roof. These facilities were designed for use by both the Authority and Arlington County police forces.

AHU UVGI Design Build, Northern, VA

Design engineering for the installation of Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) units at Dulles International Airport (IAD) and Reagan National Airport (DCA). The UVGI system installation involved two major tasks. The first includes installation of upper air UV devices in 6 airport terminals at IAD and 3 airport terminals at DCA. The second task involves installation of UVGI air sterilization systems in 36 Air Handling Units (AHUs) at IAD and 13 AHUs at DCA. Where space permitted, the UVGI system was installed within the Air Handling Unit and in the in the supply air ductwork directly downstream from the AHU where the space was insufficient.

Expansion - 5th Floor, Arlington, VA

MEP/FP and Fire Alarm design services for the renovation of a 10,500 sq ft office space. The redesigned space includes open and private offices, conference rooms, a pantry, and an IT lab for equipment testing.

DCA Advanced MEP Load Survey/Assessment, Arlington, VA

Performed an Advanced MEP Load Survey and Assessment of the Ronald Reagan Washington Airport to confirm the current MEP capacities and distribution profile for present usages. The objective was to provide The Authority with an executive-level synopsis of the MEP system's ability to accommodate planned expansion projects at DCA.

Washington International Airport, Tier 3 Criteria Document, Dulles, VA

Mechanical and Electrical engineering to support creation of the Dulles International Airport Tier 3 Project Criteria Document (PCD). 

Washington International Airport, Expansion of International Arrivals Building, Dulles, VA

Produced an MEP report that identified the potential impacts of revised phasing for the expansion of the International Arrivals Building at Dulles Airport. The report was intended for cost estimating purposes and was prepared as part of the Project Definition Document (PDD).

Washington International Airport, Fire Suppression Systems, Paint Building Dulles, VA

Design of a fire suppression system suitable for the painting activities carried out in the Paint Spray Building at Washington Dulles International Airport. 

Washington International Airport, Replace Second Floor HVAC System Building 8, Dulles, VA

Swiftly delivered demolition and construction drawings, specifications, and cost estimates adhering to MWAA standards for the replacement of the air distribution system in Building 8's 6,000 square foot second floor administrative area at Washington Dulles International Airport. The project also involved providing temporary air-conditioning due to the required system shutdown

Terminal A Redevelopment Strategic Planning Study, Washington, DC

A study report for emergency generator upgrade at Terminal A. It was recommended that the new generator be sized not only to meet the present and near future emergency power requirements of Terminal A, but also to provide adequate (approximately 25%) spare capacity to permit future growth.

The design team provided recommendations to provide a new generator large enough to meet the scope requirements and all related items, such as ATS, 277/480-volt panels, step down transformers, 120/208 low voltage panels and associated conduits and wiring.

Washington International Airport, Elevator Modification Hangar 11, Washington, DC

The Hangar 11 did not have ADA compliant elevator access to the building’s second floor.  An elevator serving the first and second floors of the building was required for wheelchair access to the occupied second floor of the building.  Provided construction design documents complete with architectural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing drawings for a two-stop hydraulic elevator shaft and a machine room. 

2005 Design Manual Section 00800 And Division 1 Project

Prepared customized specification sections for the MWAA 2005 Design Manual.
