Incide supported Società Esercizi Aeroportuali (SEA Milano) by developing the architectural, structural and plant design for the redevelopment of satellites A and B of Terminal 1 at Malpensa airport.
SEA wished to functionally upgrade satellite A in order to increase its capacity by allowing thirteen aircraft to land instead of the current ten, with the aim of significantly increasing the number of passengers transported by so-called ‘low cost’ airlines. This increase and the changes to the boarding bridges therefore entailed the adaptation of some key areas and the relative modification of the area's structures and facilities.
For Satellite B, on the other hand, punctual works were carried out aimed at the flexible configuration and division of Schengen/Non-Schengen passenger flows. The main intervention involved partitioning the satellite and the corridors connecting it to the terminal by means of opaque aluminium frames supported by a steel structure with a height of up to 8 m and with characteristics suitable for customs borders. A complete re-layout of the satellite was then carried out, which implied the adaptation of installations and the redevelopment of some spaces with a new use as connecting bridges, warehouses and toilets.
