Auckland International Airport has recently unveiled a state-of-the-art facility that's set to revolutionize the passenger experience. As part of this exciting development, our team at RTL had the privilege of partnering with Diadem, to deliver a cutting-edge wayfinding solution for the new carpark including overhead gantry signs, wayfinding and ICON for the lane delineation inside the transport hub.

Project Highlights included:

• Over 320m of undercover curbside drop-off and pick-up space
• Accommodates cars, buses, and taxis (including rideshare)
• Enables faster entry and exit from the airport
• Five large gantry signs installed, with the largest spanning 7.5m wide

As a multi-disciplinary team of designers, project managers, and procurement specialists, Diadem brought a wealth of expertise to this project.
Working alongside Diadem, RTL was heavily involved in:

1. Collaborative design refinements
2. Manufacture of five large gantry signs
3. Technical consultations on mounting requirements
4. Coordination with suppliers for structural modifications
5. Supply of Yellow Permanent FG-300 Delineators (inside the parking buildings via Icon)

The installation, carried out by the skilled Directionz team, was completed over a single weekend, minimizing disruption to airport operations. This efficient turnaround is a testament to the meticulous planning and coordination between all parties involved

• The newly developed hub has more than 2000 additional covered parking spaces, more than 40 accessible parking spots and 30 new electric vehicle charging stations
• The new 40,000 sq m plaza area includes 680 metres of covered walkways plus boardwalks decorated with native planting
