next generation airport saves lives we are in the middle of building a newregional intermodal transportation center. the vision of the airport is to keep thisstructure operational after the large earthquake that is going tohit southern california. this project was intended to provide a buildingthat would survive a major earthquake,
and would be usable the day after. this is going to be one of the cornerstonesof the seismic resiliency for not only burbank, but all of la. i really think this project puts bob hope on the map.
this is a project of the future. we have not had a big earthquake since 1857.and as a result, we're due. it is designed for the mce or maximum credible event, or "the big one" as they call it out here. in the event of a major earthquake this airport will be the center for emergency responsefor southern california. fema, calema, la county sheriff la city fire, la county fire have all toured the facility, the airport,
and know its significance in the event ofan emergency this airport is prepared.it's prepared for that seismic event. i just hope it never happens, but if it does, we'll be ready for it. this provides hope to the community, that there was a big earthquakebut that thing is still standing. this is our protection of this $112m investment. by going with a performance-based design instead of a code-minimum design.
we've created a design that uses state-of-the-art technology incorporating an isolation system to be constructed just underneath the first elevated floor ofthe structure. it's a roller, essentially.so, therefore, the superstructure's out here. the ground moves.so here is chaos. magnitude 7 magnitude 8but, guess what? the building stays in the same plane. that's the difference. it is that we can have major earthquakes aftermajor earthquakes after major earthquakes,
and the building will still be hereperforming its intended duty. the leaders at the burbank airport are fantastic.because they are thinking about "what if? what if? what if?"because if you don't think about "what if?"... bad things happen. i think this will save a lot of lives. if i can get just one public agency to wakeup to the fact that they need to do more than the minimum code,i'll feel like my mission was fulfilled. we don't have to change the whole societyjust working with a few key clients you can actually make a difference.
