One possibility is to rebuild it.” Passengers at the Mexico City airport's Terminal 2 use makeshift ramps to move from the airport lobby to the bus terminal, the latter of which has sunk nearly four feet since the structure was built. “What we have to do is how to avoid a collapse and disasters. “In addition to the poor quality of the soil, they didn’t lay the proper foundations,” said López Obrador.
Like much of Mexico City, Terminal 2 is sinking into the Earth. The airport was built on the dry lakebed of what was once Lake Texcoco, an area composed of loosely packed, clay-rich subsoils that present difficulties for architects and structural engineers.
MEXICO CITY (CN) - Serious structural flaws threaten the viability of a terminal at the Mexico City International Airport and could require reinforcements or a total rebuild, according to Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.Ī panel of experts has already evaluated the structures of Terminal 2 at Mexico City’s Benito Juárez International Airport and their conclusions will be released next week, the president said at his morning press conference Wednesday.
