SFO’s facilities maintenance staff carried out work at the area during the closure period.

The work included the installation of physical distancing signage and marking, as well as clear plastic barriers for physical distancing.

The team also accelerated the work for the repair and maintenance of walkways and escalators, the repainting of interior surfaces and markings on the tarmac.

The airport replaced the lamps with LED lighting, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) filters, ceiling tiles and metal finishes.

Inspections and repairs were also carried out for doors, fire alarms and fire sprinklers.

Last month, SFO announced plans to cut down carbon emissions with Neste’s sustainable aviation fuel as part of its efforts towards net-zero carbon.
