Case Study: American Samoa Government strengthens airport safety and resilience with Woolpert

American Samoa Government restores 3 airports and launches new PPG terminal planning with Woolpert

The American Samoa Government faced critical infrastructure challenges at its three airports, including aging, non-compliant runways and terminals that threatened this essential air travel lifeline. They partnered with Woolpert for a full-service solution utilizing the firm's geospatial, engineering, and aviation design expertise to rehabilitate the distressed airfields and plan a new terminal.

Woolpert implemented a strategic rehabilitation of the airfields at Pago Pago International, Ofu, and Fitiuta airports, completing the work without halting commercial operations. The results ensured the runways are now safe, compliant with FAA standards, and serviceable. For the new terminal project, Woolpert is designing a resilient, culturally resonant facility that adheres to modern codes. The improvements safeguard this critical transportation link and are designed to support future economic development for the territory.
