Key Project Experience

As part of DEN's concourse expansion program, Flatiron is partnered with sister company Turner Construction (TFN) to build and renovate 620,000 SF of total expansions for Concourses A-West and B-West. Scope includes the construction of 16 new gates, new de-icing facilities at the west end of each concourse, and new in­ground jet-fuel pits for all new gates. Flatiron performed demolition, utility relocation, drainage installation, and the replacement of various airfield structural sections, new waterproofing, concrete sealers, and new expansion joints, as well as coordination of the installation of new domestic water services, jet fuel hydrant pits, and new ramp and taxiway lighting. To accelerate the installation of plumbing in the basement at Concourse A-West, Flatiron developed a plan to re-sequence the work after the space using innovative means and methods including switching to LNG powered equipment, adding the use of conveyors, and developing an alternative access plan. Flatiron developed several pavement mix designs in order to maximize the scope of the project, including collaborating with DEN to mock-up and test several mix design options, ensuring the proposed mix designs met or exceeded DEN's expectations.

Known as “Big Build,” the capital improvement plan at Sacramento International Airport is the largest CMR modified design-build contract executed in Sacramento County’s history. The terminal positions the airport for long term growth, with future expansion incorporating additional gates and converting Terminal A to an airside concourse linked to the central terminal by a second APM. The JV provided construction management services for a 316,000 SF project consisting of a new 19-gate passenger airside concourse with an international arrivals facility replacing Terminal B. Recognizing the constraints of building the new Central Terminal B Airside Concourse within an existing terminal at the busy airport, the design-build team presented a construction plan to deliver the project to the Sacramento County Airport System in two phases, saving time and money.

As a Joint Venture, Flatiron and Turner Construction are delivering the San Diego Regional Airport Authority’s Terminal 1 Replacement at San Diego International Airport. As part of the long-term airport development plan, which includes a multi-faceted infrastructure and facility development program, the Terminal 1 Replacement is the centerpiece of supporting the region’s increased air travel demand through 2035.

This $2.27B progressive design-build project includes the design and construction of a new 1.2 million-square-foot Terminal 1, a new parking garage, relocation of the existing taxiway and construction of a second, a new access road, a new administration building, and reservation of a site for a future transit station.

SOW: The scope of work includes the terminal and roadways portion of the airport development plan including phased construction of the new Terminal 1 building with up to 30 gates, aircraft boarding bridges, a new entry, enhanced airport circulation, arrival and departure roadways, pedestrian bridges, demolition of buildings, surface features, utilities (new and relocated), storm drainage collection, storage and transmission facilities and existing central utility plant upgrades.
