Case Study Project: Orlando International Airport. This project adds another 232 DeepStreams modern custom Trash Bins and Recycling Receptacles.
With the September 19, 2022, opening of the Project at the Orlando International Airport, a 1.8 million-square-foot facility designed by Fentress Architects, DeepStream Designs was chosen for a fifth time to furnish all 186 receptacles. This project follows the completion of the 500,000 sq. ft. Schenkel Shultz-designed Intermodal Terminal Center, with 46 more modern commercial receptacles, and 2400 space parking garage. The Intermodal Center opened in 2017 to connect Brightline train travelers from Miami to the airport’s five automatic people movers.
Key details about the project:
- Size and Scope: New-build Terminal C, a 1.8 million-square-foot facility, and the Intermodal Center as part of the $684 million intermodal complex, the airport authority has also built a 2,400-space parking garage requiring 232 trash bins and recycling receptacles.
- Timeline: The groundbreaking ceremony for the new center took place in December 2017, and opened in late July 2018.
- Gates: The first phase features 15 gates capable of handling up to 20 aircraft with more to be built.
- Airlines: Aer Lingus, Azul, British Airways, Emirates, JetBlue, and Lufthansa are among the airlines that operate from Terminal C.
- Status: Terminal C opened and operational by September 2022. The Intermodal Center and parking garage opened 2017.
- Architects: Terminal C – Fentress Architects. Intermodal Center – Schenkel Shultz.
- Purpose: Improve the travelers’ experience by adding more gates and expanded customs and immigration processing to serve the over 57 million passengers a year.
- Project Sustainability
- LEEDv4 certification: The MCO Intermodal Terminal was the first intermodal terminal in the world to achieve LEED v4 New Construction Certification, a rigorous standard for green building.
- Sustainable practices: This certification was a result of a design that prioritized environmental stewardship, guided by a Sustainability Management Plan that Schenkel Shultz co-authored.
DeepStream Designs Participation, Selection Criteria, and Outcome:
- Emphasis on Durability and Sustainability: The bins feature anodized aluminum legs that won’t rust or corrode, and the overall design is long-lasting to prevent waste. The project’s designers chose them for the terminal’s focus on environmental stewardship.
- Customization: The bins for the Project included custom multi-stream combined recycling and trash receptacles of the Airport’s own design, while the Intermodal Terminal’s dual-stream receptacles for trash and recycling feature panels made of high-tech designer 3form Varia Thatch resin, which uses natural fibers set into a clear resin.
- Modern Design Aesthetics: Modern, ergonomic, Commercial Recycling Receptacles and Trash Bins are an important visitor touch point. They needed to stand out yet blend with this Architecturally stunning project.
- Functionality: Rugged beauty, where form follows function. All of DeepStream’s Modern Commercial Recycling Receptacles and Trash Bins are designed with a rugged rotomolded HDPE removable leak-proof inner liner to ensure sanitation. Receptacles move on hidden casters while the inner bins sit on an open aluminum frame that doesn’t allow anywhere for trash to accumulate or pests to live. The 316 Stainless Steel lids open on custom hinges built for hundreds of thousands of openings.
- Cost Savings: With the weatherproof, low-maintenance materials and Lifetime Structural Warranty provided by DeepStream, DeepStream’s Modern Commercial Trash Bins and Recycling Receptacles were judged to provide the lowest cost of ownership over time to both the Airport and the environment. If parts are damaged, they are easy to replace without special tools and DeepStream keeps digital details of every bin so that parts can be easily ordered at manufacturer’s direct cost without any markup for profit through our unique Core Replacement Program.
- Custom, Flexible, Sustainable Design: With a 16-year relationship with the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority and its dedicated environmental program, DeepStream’s commitment to Sustainability, backed by a Lifetime Warranty, and the Airport’s environmental programs was well documented. Even with more than 57 million travelers a year, DeepStream’s modern Commercial Trash Bins and Recycling Receptacles are trusted to will withstand decades of heavy commercial use.
- Environmental Commitment: Each American handcrafted bin and receptacle generated a 100-tree donation to Trees for the Future. This project generated a contribution to Trees for the Future that planted 23,200 trees in the project’s name.
