The Story
John Wayne Airport , located in Orange County, CA , is moving forward with an Improvement
Program that will allow the airport to serve international destinations, such as Mexico, when Federal
Inspection Facilities are complete in late 2011. According to a renegotiated agreement between
Orange County and the city of Newport Beach , these improvements are expected to accommodate
10.8 million passengers between January 2011 and December 2015.
The Vision
It all started in July 2009 with the construction of John Wayne Airport’s new Terminal C. Gensler
Architects , a leading global architecture, design, planning and strategic consulting firm, provided
the design for Terminal C. Gensler was also the primary architectural firm on the original Thomas F.
Riley Terminal.
Additional facilities in the John Wayne Airport Improvement Program include:
• United States’ Regulated International Security Screening Checkpoints
• A Parking Structure
• Three New Baggage Carousels
• Food, Beverage, News and Gift Concession Stands
In addition, Terminal C is a multi-level building comprised of a total area of approximately 282,000
square feet. Architecturally, Terminal C draws heavily from features that make the existing Riley
Terminal distinctive: barrel-vaulted ceilings, clear views throughout the Terminal from landside to
airside, use of natural stone and a soft, neutral color palette will create an open, inviting and
high-quality environment for airport users.
For more than 40 years, Gensler Architects have pioneered in creating the “ambiance” for employees
to enhance their quality of work and life. When IDS Engineering proposed the use of lightweight
concrete for the terminal, Gensler was already familiar with the product from building other
landmarks in Los Angeles and many other areas.

John Wayne Airport - Terminal C
McCarthy Building Companies is the general contractor of Terminal C. Founded in 1864,
McCarthy Building Companies is one of the oldest construction firms in the United States
offering extensive experience with lightweight concrete.
TXI in the Mix
Catalina Pacific, a Cal Portland Company , supplied over 3,000 cubic yards of lightweight
concrete to Bomel Construction Company Inc , the concrete subcontractor. Catalina Pacific is
a well-known and established ready mix producer in Southern California. They have excellent
testing facilities and extensive experience working with TXI. TXI’s Frazier Park lightweight
aggregate plant (aka. Pacific Custom Materials), also located in California, supplied the
lightweight aggregate.
Both Catalina Pacific and TXI Frazier Park were ready to step up to the challenge of producing
and delivering 3,000 PSI lightweight concrete mix. TXI Frazier Park supplied enough lightweight
aggregate to make 3,089 cubic yards of 110 PCF lightweight concrete – approximately
2,000 cubic yards of lightweight aggregates.
Mr. Ed “Griff” Sparks, Catalina Pacific laboratory manager, and Mr. John D. Halverson, the project
sales representative, both summed it well, saying:
”Since service is a key component to our business model, it was a must to require our suppliers to
have the same sense of professionalism. All orders from Catalina Pacific Concrete were professionally
handled, Frazier Park Lightweight Aggregates were delivered with no issues and its quality met
our high quality standards.”
John Wayne Airport is owned and operated by the County of Orange. It is the only commercial airport
and one of two general aviation airports in the county and is located approximately 35 miles south of
Los Angeles, between the cities of Costa Mesa, Irvine and Newport Beach.
