The construction and renovation of airports are some of
the biggest capital projects in the world. They involve
massive infrastructure, often covering hundreds –
or even thousands – of acres and require extensive
planning, design and construction to accommodate
runways, taxiways, terminal buildings, parking facilities,
baggage handling and cargo areas.
Airports are subject to regulations and guidelines
imposed by international aviation authorities and local
governments for security, environmental impact, noise
control and accessibility. They require the seamless
coordination of multiple disciplines: civil engineering,
architecture, electrical engineering, mechanical
engineering and aviation planning.
If work is being done on an airport already in operation,
there must be careful phasing and sequencing
of construction to ensure passenger safety while
minimizing delays.
Also, airports are expensive projects that require
managing complex budgets and coordinating public
funds, private investments and international financing
institutions.
