LAX ITF-WEST StormCapture® Installation

Swinerton contractors are playing a key role in transforming LAX through the Landside Access Modernization Program (LAMP) to provide more transportation options for travelers and allow for adjustments in the future. The ITF-West facility is the first component of future-proofing LAX, where Oldcastle joined forces with KPFF to install StormCapture for its large storage capacity under the new parking structure.

This installation provided a number of challenges along the way:

| Several site constraints and structural design parameters limited product options

| With moving parts to this overall project, StormCapture needed to be installed on a tight timeline

| The cistern’s location created size constraints for StormCapture

| The solution had to meet the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation and Department of Building and Safety approvals

Oldcastle Infrastructure and KPFF worked together to design a custom stormwater management system and long-term storage solution that fit all parameters of the project with StormCapture, Dual-Vortex Separator and MaxWell drywells to be installed under the ITFWest’s building footprint. Where size constraints played a role, Oldcastle was able to showcase its ability to think outside the box by installing RCP pipe in place of vaults. From manufacturing to its fast installation process and minimal handling, the StormCapture installation added a valued solution that met the project’s tight scheduling deadlines. The design solution met the stringent permitting requirements of the City of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS).

Because of site constraints and structural design parameters, StormCapture was the ideal storage solution for this project.”
