New Xi'an Airport T5 in Service: Backed by Advanced Seismic Tech
On February 20, 2025, the T5 terminal of Xi'an Xianyang International Airport in China was officially put into operation, marking a new step in the construction of the aviation hub in northwest China. This 700,000-square-meter terminal will be able to handle 83 million passenger trips and 1 million tons of cargo and mail throughput annually in the future, which is of great significance for regional economic and transportation development. The seismic isolation and energy dissipation technology of SAFETYINSIDE provides a solid guarantee for its safe and stable operation.
The area where the T5 terminal is located has a seismic fortification intensity of 8 degrees, with a high seismic risk, making the seismic isolation and energy dissipation technology crucial. Relying on professional technology and rich experience, SAFETYINSIDE has customized a comprehensive and efficient seismic isolation and energy dissipation solution for the T5 terminal.
The T5 terminal adopts a long - span and super - long seismic isolation structure design. To address the construction deformation problem of the super - long seismic isolation structure, the project team, in collaboration with universities, expert teams, and design institutes, has conducted research in five aspects: theory, materials, construction deployment, new - type seismic isolation bearings, and deformation monitoring, forming key technologies that effectively control the overall deformation. The achievements have reached a globally leading level.
During the project implementation, SAFETYINSIDE strictly controls every link. Raw materials are carefully selected to ensure excellent product performance; advanced processes and management control systems are used to ensure that products meet high - precision indicators; during installation and commissioning, a professional team follows up throughout the process to achieve a perfect integration of the seismic isolation and energy dissipation system and the building structure. In addition, the team has successfully developed and applied "pre - rectification" and "rectifiable" seismic isolation bearings, which have enhanced the stability of the T5 terminal during earthquakes and reduced the risk of damage.
The seismic isolation and energy dissipation technology combines building seismic isolation and energy dissipation technologies. Building seismic isolation extends the natural vibration period of the structure by setting up a seismic isolation layer, reducing the seismic action; building energy dissipation sets up energy - dissipating devices at key parts to reduce the response of the main structure. SAFETYINSIDE combines the advantages of the two to build a solid safety defense line for the T5 terminal.
SAFETYINSIDE provides a full - life - cycle service for the T5 terminal, from pre - project consultation and scheme design, to mid - term product supply and installation guidance, and then to post - project technical support, ensuring the normal operation of the seismic isolation and energy dissipation system.
The successful operation of the T5 terminal demonstrates the technical strength and social responsibility of SAFETYINSIDE.
As of now, SAFETYINSIDE has undertaken and completed, including but not limited to, the following airport terminal projects:
Beijing Daxing International Airport Terminal (with a construction area of approximately 750,000 square meters)
T5 Terminal of Xi'an Xianyang International Airport (with a construction area of approximately 700,000 square meters)
T4 Terminal of Urumqi Airport in Xinjiang (with a construction area of approximately 500,000 square meters)
Phase II Terminal Expansion Project of Haikou Meilan International Airport (with a construction area of approximately 300,000 square meters)
New Terminal Project of Lijiang Sanyi Airport (with a construction area of approximately 100,000 square meters)
Terminal Project of Hohhot New Airport in Inner Mongolia (with a construction area of approximately 200,000 square meters)
T1 Terminal Project of Kunming Changshui Airport (with a construction area of approximately 550,000 square meters)
In the future, SAFETYINSIDE will continue to innovate, improve seismic isolation and energy dissipation technologies, provide safety guarantees for more construction projects, promote the construction industry to develop towards a safe and sustainable direction, and safeguard the lives and property of buildings in various fields.
