low and Slow: The Great Salt Lake
Trant（Trax）于2013年首次进入SLC。最初在1990年代批准了Trax，以期预期2002年奥运会。如今，每年有20,000,000名乘客能够以几种模式到达机场：自行车，轻轨，公共汽车或汽车，当然还有飞机。

we�re going to be here for seven years, explained Kevin Fauve, Project Director for Holder-Big D, as he offered an unsolicited answer to our awe over the make shift ranch created to house the engineering and construction team. Putting his LEED AP BD+C credentials to use Fauve shaped an impressive air-cooled, shaded habitat for his team's talent on the $1.8 billion terminal redevelopment program to be completed in 2022. Above in the outdoor hallways between trailers are, from left to right: Mike Williams, Program Director for The New SLC, Aileen Cho of ENR, and Bianca Shreeve, public relations and marketing manager for Salt Lake City Department of Airports.

Upon departure the Low and Slow tour team received courtesy parking during the visit to SLC. Most every visitor pays at the exit above. Clearly, parking is critical to the flow of tourism, aviation and airport revenue. That priority was witnessed on the job site.

看起来像跑道I-80一样平坦，将马丁夫人带到了大盐湖上，这是大盆地的一部分，这是美国北部最大的内河盆地。大多数称其为盐锅。水 - 无法去任何地方 - 在平原上蒸发。落在死湖上的雨水停留在那里，从出口到河流，河流和海洋，吸收了从其他分水岭逃走。低和慢的山地享受着荒地，这些荒地是在邦纳维尔盐平台附近打破每小时70英里的马丁壁垒，每小时70英里的声音障碍。

Senior project managers of the SLC Terminal Redevelopment Program pull out the stops to give Low and Slow Across America's Infrastructure tour an intensive briefing making the stop in Salt Lake City a productive adventure. Using video, still images, graphs and aerials the SLC team, led by Mike Williams (lower right side), explain the difficulties of building and a new airport inside of the existing aviation center while operations run uninterrupted.

Fred Groome, general superintendent, oversees SLC construction for Holder-Big D. Experienced in airport work, Groome was part of of the team working on Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) that claims to have saved the city of Atlanta $60 million and nearly a year off the schedule. Displaying a field marshall's air, Groome explains how a recent milestone was met. We paved 1.2 million square feet of parking lot with asphalt between July and October last year. We had 120 hardhats working around the clock with zero impact on ops. After 12 weeks the lot was ready for 2,500 vehicles. The asphalt is on the high end of the spec charts. You could land a plane on it.

Mike Williams performs an on-camera interview with Aileen Cho while standing on freshly poured concrete so fresh it is still wet. Williams explained how critical the parking facilities are at SLC. We have full garages and parking lots during the ski season. In the spring and summer months the valleys and peaks are alive with events. The rental car facilities are critical to the airport�s year round success.

A large Westerner sauntered up to Aileen and Dan from the shadows of Salt Lake City International Airport's (SLC) parking garage. Cracking a smile only after he was in spitting range Leon Nelson, construction director for the Holder-Big D joint venture says, I read about this car just the other day in ENR. And here it is! A disbelieving Nelson circled Mrs. Martin muttering, It looks rougher in real life. Having plummeted off the Western Slope of the Rocky Mountains, Low and Slow arrived at SLC for a hardhat tour. Strangely, their guide was the surprised Leon Nelson. Afterwards Aileen and Dan made a run for it across the Great Basin toward California.

Mike Williams, standing atop a new parking garage with and old one in the background, explains a motivator in exceeding expectations around scheduling: The facility in some areas is 50-years old. A major seismic activity would wipe out the old terminals and other buildings. The Great Salt Lake, now layers of sand, silt and salt deposits, is an undesirable foundation making airport structures susceptible to liquefaction. The soil, as one project team member said off-the-record, is crap making the driving of pipe and pile down 70 ft and the drilling stone columns 40 ft deep necessary. That's where terra firma is living.

沙漠是致命的。在低速和缓慢的巡回演出中避免了机会。麦克尼科尔（McNichol）在码头一号停车场的背上没有羞耻，在他的背上，检查了所有的水库和重要系统。用齿轮油填充漏水的接头，在口渴的七夸脱油系统中添加15W-40夸脱的油，并检查散热器和主制动缸，这是强制性检查清单项目的一部分。
