Construction of aerial concourses requires complex coordination of structural, architectural, and services installation while maintaining station operations. Production rates vary based on concourse size, construction methodology, and interface requirements. Modern prefabrication and modular construction techniques have improved efficiency.
Key Statistics:
- Average span: 30-50m
- Typical width: 8-15m
- Height clearance: 5.8-7.2m
- Best practice completion: 12-18 months
- Structural steel: 150-200t/month
- Glazing: 200-300m²/week
- Services integration: 30-40%
- Passenger capacity: 3000-5000/hour

Note 1: Production rates are indicative only.
Note 2: Rates vary based on:
- Station operations
- Access constraints
- Interface requirements
- Weather conditions
- Construction method
- Safety requirements
Note 3: Cost calculation formula:
C = (BA Ă— CF Ă— HF Ă— IF) + SC, where:
- BA = Base area
- CF = Complexity factor (1.2-1.8)
- HF = Height factor (1.1-1.4)
- IF = Interface factor (1.2-1.5)
- SC = Services constant
