O’Hare Airport East Airfield Lightning Control Vault

Construction of a new $17 million East Vault to support the lighting loads, circuits, and equipment of Runways 9C/27C, Runway 9R/27L extension, and associated taxiways in O’Hare International Airport’s north airfield. Power requirements for the facility include two independent commercial electrical feeds supported by a one-second transfer switchgear, communications, natural gas, sanitary sewer and storm drainage, potable / domestic water, and limited fire suppression. Construction is sequenced into multiple phases, thus addressing the needs of the operational airfield and supporting the new and migration of existing airfield lighting control systems and airfield lighting circuits.
