The Abu Dhabi International Airport is one of the fastest-growing aviation hubs in the world.<\/strong> Recognizing the need to increase capacity, enhance the passenger experience, and establish the airport as a world-class transit hub, the Abu Dhabi Airports Company<\/a> initiated the major airport expansion program in 2005. Geared towards increasing capacity from 14 million to 45 million annual passengers by 2030, the program aims to deliver improvements to existing facilities while simultaneously preparing for anticipated future needs. From the start, Parsons has worked as the sole prime contractor on the project providing design, build, operations, and maintenance services.<\/p>\n Structured in phases, the program consists of both renovation and reconstruction as well as new works such as the Midfield Terminal Building (MTB), which is being constructed between the airport\u2019s two runways, allowing for the shortest possible journey from runway to parking stand. The associated Midfield Terminal Complex (MTC) incorporates the MTB, along with surrounding support facilities and infrastructure. The MTC is a new 65-gate, 700,000-square-meter (7.5 million-square-foot) passenger terminal.<\/p>\n Midfield Terminal Building constructed at Abu Dhabi International Airport<\/p><\/div>\n Managed by Parsons, all work was planned and executed with minimal disruption to live operations. The Capacity Enhancement Program (CEP) works for the MTB and MTC include:<\/p>\n To meet the client\u2019s overall mission of \u201cleveraging innovation and synergy to deliver competitive benefits\u201d we worked to design the new Midfield Terminal Building (MTB) in line with the local sustainability initiative, Estidama, a building design rating framework to assure that sustainability is continually addressed through four pre-defined pillars: environmental, economic, social and cultural. Our participation in conjunction with the Airport’s engineering team has helped the project successfully achieve a 3 Pearl Design Rating from the Estidama Pearl Building Rating System (PBRS). The MTB is also currently the largest sustainable building in the Estidama program.<\/p>\n We also led Value Engineering (VE) exercises with the client, which resulted in project savings of around AED1.05 billion. We delivered these savings by working collaboratively, adopting a phased approach, and implementing several cost-saving measures during design and procurement.<\/p>\n With a global team of 375+ aviation experts, we are committed to collaborating with clients to develop solutions for even the toughest challenges. We have worked on over 450 airport projects in 40 countries helping our clients design, construct, manage, enhance and sustain world-class facilities.
