Construction and development firm Skanska has secured a contract to build five additional gates at the north end of Concourse T at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Hartsfield-Jackson) in the US.
The modernisation project will be executed by a Skanska-led joint venture with New South Construction, FS360 and Synergy Construction.
The value of Skanska’s share of the contract stands at around $56m and will be recorded in the US order bookings for Q4 2020.
In addition to building the gates, the JV will also rebuild a major portion of the North Terminal exit road and construct a Delta Air Lines ground support equipment facility and a fire station.
Its scope of work also includes supervision of relocations to the utilities’ infrastructure.
Skanska Georgia and South Carolina building operations executive vice-president and general manager Scott Cannon was quoted by Aviation Pros as saying: “We are proud to support the effort to help secure Hartsfield-Jackson’s position as the busiest and most efficient airport in the world.
