The AirTrain Automated People Mover System is an integral part of the San Francisco International Airport's Master Plan Expansion, the largest construction project west of the Mississippi at the time. The fully automated, fixed guideway transit system has become an essential part of the airport's intermodal systems and is used to transport passengers and personnel between the Airport's landside activity centers, the main terminal building, a new International Terminal Building, new parking structures, and rental car facilities.

Wong served as the Program Manager/Construction Manager for airport's implementation of the AirTrain System. As prime consultant, Wong assisted the Airport throughout the design, bidding, award, construction and start-up periods of the project.

Wong was responsible for all facilities and systems aspects of this fully automated transit system. The AirTrain facilities consist of 6-miles of elevated guideway, 9 passenger stations, pedestrian bridges, a maintenance and storage facility, and an intermodal facility. The integrated operating system includes 38 vehicles, central control facility, traction power system, fire/life safety systems, security and public address systems, and a state-of-the-art communications-based train control system.

Program Management and Program Controls
Wong managed the design and construction of the guideway, stations, maintenance facility, rental car facility, and operating system to insure that the system achieved the objectives of the Airport in terms of design criteria and standards, interface and coordination requirements, cost controls, schedule, reliability, and maintainability.

Design Management Services
Wong provided design review, testing, and management of a design-build Operating System Contract. This Contract includes communications-based train control, central control facilities, traction power substations and 12 kV bulk power supply system, fiber-optic communications backbone, and radio systems. Wong had a proactive role in the commencement of passenger service on March 3, 2003 by working closely with the contractor during system demonstration and in achieving system availability above 99.5%.

Construction Management and Support Services
Wong was responsible for the construction management of the seven major construction contracts that required successful integration. These included east loop elevated guideway ($70 million), west loop elevated guideway ($90 million), AirTrain Operating System ($130 million), remote terminal stations ($6 million), domestic terminal stations & pedestrian bridges ($32 million), maintenance & storage facility ($9 million), station graphics ($1.5 million), and rental car center improvements ($4 million). Construction management responsibilities included project scheduling and estimating, budget and change controls, installation oversight of all contracts, and acceptance testing of the operating system. In addition, Wong provided support services to the Airport during operations.
