Orlando International Airport's largest-ever expansion is about 90% complete, according to a Greater Orlando Aviation Authority press release shared with Construction Dive. The three-level South Terminal C project at Florida's busiest airport will encompass 300 acres, add 15 gates to accommodate up to 20 aircraft and serve 10-12 million additional passengers each year, the release said. — Construction Dive
The approximately $3 billion project was a collaboration between a Turner-Kiewit joint venture, which provided construction management services for the Landside Terminal C, Hensel Phelps, which served as construction manager for the Airside Terminal C, and Vanderlande, which served as the design/build/operate/maintain contractor.
The new terminal features a high-tech, low-touch design and aims to become the world’s first LEEDv4 airport. The new terminal boasts a more centralized design, where arriving passengers will be able to retrieve checked baggage on the same level where they deplane. It also ensures an easier screening process, in which TSA checkpoints contain fully automated screening lanes, and a quieter baggage handling system that allows passengers to track their bags. The terminal is expected to open in July.
