Aecom receives management contract for San Diego airport project
20 September 2024
US-based global infrastructure consulting firm Aecom said it signed on to provide programme management services for the nearly US$4-billion San Diego International Airport (SAN) expansion project in California, US.
The company said the purview includes updates to critical infrastructure, access, and sustainability features, including management of construction on New Terminal 1 and the modernisation of Termain 2 East.
“In its role, AECOM will provide a full range of programme, project and construction management services, as well as diversified specialised services,” said Aecom. “[The new main terminal], the airport’s biggest project ever, will include a new on-airport entrance road to provide travellers with a faster route to the airport.
“New bicycle lanes and a pedestrian path will connect the airport to San Diego’s surrounding communities.”
Drew Jeter, chief executive of AECOM’s program management global business line, added, “These improvements, guided by our program management expertise, will enhance passenger experience, safety, and airport design, while also boosting the regional economy through job creation and increased tourism.”
A joint venture of Turner Construction and Flatiron Construction have been working on first phase works since signing a more than $2-billion contract in 2020.
Just less week, the project announced it received additional federal funding.
Financial detail for Aecom’s management contract with SAN was not available.
