Next Generation Airport Saves Lives -- Watch Video

Regional Intermodal Transportation Center at Burbank Bob Hope Airport

(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/21/13 -- When the next destructive earthquake hits Los Angeles, the Burbank Bob Hope Airport is ready to respond. The Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority has set the standard for high performance engineering and multi-earthquake building practices with the new Regional Intermodal Transportation Center (RITC).

, "This building can withstand an unlimited number of earthquakes. That's the difference... In the event of a major earthquake, this airport will be the center of emergency response for Southern California."

The RITC will continue operating after a major earthquake, and will serve as a disaster command center for first responders such as FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and Cal EMA (California Emergency Management Agency).

The strategic RITC uses a state-of-the-art base isolation system which goes beyond meeting code minimums. Conforming to the code only reduces the casualty risk, but it does not protect the functionality of a facility. "This is going to be one of the cornerstones of seismic resiliency," said Dr. Kit Miyamoto of Miyamoto International.
