The new, larger passenger screening area to be completed early next year at the Albuquerque Sunport will be supported by 3-ft.-diameter, abutting concrete piers, each set 70 ft. vertically into the ground. "It was a substantial effort," said Rick Tavelli, project manager for Bradbury Stamm of Albuquerque. The construction job on the pillars required 8,000 cu. yds. of concrete and 550 tons of steel. Future plans include excavating the dirt enclosed by the pillars, arranged in a U-shape, to form a two-tier baggage inspection area beneath the passenger screening area.
