Toussaint Louverture International Airport

Toussaint Louverture International Airport

Miyamoto International provided the structural investigation and developed the repair and retrofit strategy for this essential transportation facility for the country of Haiti. Fully funded and supported by the Haitian government, this iconic project serves as a significant milestone to the country’s recovery efforts. Miyamoto partnered with MTPTC (Ministry of Public Works, Transportation, and Communications) and Panexus to develop and implement the structural retrofit of the airport per the 2009 International Building Code to comply with essential facility requirements. The project includes extensive new-engineered, reinforced concrete shear walls and collector elements throughout the entire facility to provide seismic resistance. To ensure the quality of work, Miyamoto provided 24-hour, on-site, continuous construction surveillance. The existing airport structures posed unique construction challenges; Miyamoto worked closely with Panexus to provide construction sequencing and guidance.
