Dallas-Fort Worth Airport has amazing new way to build passenger gates
CNN
Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport has pulled off an incredible feat of engineering that's been claimed as a world first. It's built new airplane gates at a remote location then hauled the huge structures across the tarmac to their new home.
(CNN) — Airport gates are usually the last point of solid ground that fliers experience before taking to the skies, but at one US airport this month, a remarkable engineering feat saw several gates embark on their own incredible journey.
In what's believed to be an aviation industry first, four newly built gates -- boxy rooms made of concrete, glass and steel -- could be seen crawling in the middle of the night across the tarmac at Texas' Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, the second busiest airport in the United States, before being installed in their new home at Terminal C.
The almost inconceivable achievement was completed late last Thursday night and into the following morning, when the final gate -- built remotely on airport land for its Terminal C -- was carried via a high-tech, flatbed truck across one runway and hooked up to the terminal for use by American Airlines at their primary hub.
