HPM provided Construction Audit & Advisory Services for the $500 million Dallas Love Field Modernization Program and Expansion. The program encompassed near 900,000 square feet of new construction and 255,00 square feet of renovated areas. Key project elements included a new ticketing hall and security checkpoint, a 20-gate concourse, new and expanded concessions space, and a new baggage handling system and baggage claim hall. Enabling projects, including roadway enhancements, fuel system improvements and $70 million of apron pavement work, are also part of the project. The successful completion of the project greatly improved the convenience level of the airport, creating a more efficient flow for passengers that will be enjoyed for decades to come. Our team ensured that the $500 million budgeted for this expansion was properly and fairly spent.

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) International Arrivals Facility (IAF) is a 450,000-square-foot addition to the airport. The facility features 11 flight gates and an elevated sterile corridor raised nearly 32 feet above the apron level (the airplane and vehicle zone).

The scope includes the construction of a bridge that spans 780 linear feet over the existing taxi lane and connects the IAF to the airport’s South Satellite Terminal. Prefabricated offsite, the bridge was installed within a seven-day time frame and offers views of Mount Rainier and the Olympic Mountains. HPM was tapped to provide Audit & Contract services throughout the life of the project, leading to significant cost savings for the owner.

A joint-venture project with PCL and Turner, the design-build expansion and renovation of Terminal 2 at San Diego International Airport (SDIA) added public and nonpublic space and provided access to ten additional contact aircraft gates.

This project included relocating the FIS facility from Terminal 2 East to Terminal 2 West by repurposing six aircraft gates into independent swing gates. The three-story terminal includes passenger circulation, airline check-in and ticket lobby, security screening, baggage handling and waiting areas, seating areas, concessions, restrooms, office spaces, and other related service and support areas. Austin Commercial was the final link in the airport’s remodel by adding a new 2.1 million-square-foot rental car center. It consolidates the busy airport’s car rental operations under one roof to maximize operational efficiency and enhance service for customers. HPM was selected to provide a full suite of Construction Audit & Advisory Services throughout preconstruction and construction.

HPM is serving as program manager for the $250 million effort to create a new airport terminal complex near downtown Mobile. We are partnered with Mott MacDonald to supply Design Management services and to maintain the program integrity. This project will allow the Airport Authority to relocate its domestic flight services from its current location, thereby improving the accessibility and the end-user experience.

GOING INTERNATIONAL
Mobilians have long wished for a more convenient airport. The challenging location of Mobile Regional Airport has forced many to fly out of Pensacola and New Orleans. The current administration promised to explore the possibility of a new terminal at Brookley and with the appropriate assistance from the FAA and other federal revenue streams, they saw a path to reality.

When the terminal becomes operational in 2024, commercial passenger traffic will shift from Mobile Regional Airport in west Mobile to Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley, a mixed-use industrial complex. The new terminal will meet the standards required to be designated an international airport. Backers of the swap believe that Brookley’s proximity to downtown, its relative ease of access for Baldwin County customers and its easy interstate access will make Mobile more competitive with the airports in other regional cities. It is a transformational opportunity that will bring lower fares, more direct flights, increased tourism and greater economic development opportunities.

Operating as an extension of the local Airport Director, and working directly with the architect and resident engineer, HPM provided Construction Management Services for Auburn’s new 25,000 square-foot terminal building.

Located across the runway from an existing terminal, the project required extensive site development including 45-acres of earthwork and grading, utility, and stormwater infrastructure extensions, and a new access road, taxiways, and apron.

The program was executed in multiple phases to reflect FAA funding cycles. Prior to construction, HPM worked with the architect and resident engineer to developed budgets, reconciling the design with approved funding, prioritizing the work in phases, preparing grant applications, soliciting bids, and structuring bid packages to align with FAA funding. After award, HPM assisted with contract administration, coordinating schedules, maintaining job cost accounting, and facilitating the flow of information between the architect, consultants, contractors, engineers, and the owner.

DETAILS:

• 2-story structure steel frame
• Barrel rolled metal roof
• High impact glass
• Sun screening for a high degree of visibility

The $24 million terminal modernization project included doubling the airport’s baggage handling area, the addition of new rental car counters and jumbo projection screens, and providing a new space for the Huntsville-Madison County Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Working closely with the Huntsville-Madison County Airport Authority monitoring project schedule and costs, HPM analyzed and made recommendations on the validity of change order request. In addition, HPM partnered with the architect to provide quality control through inspections and submitted punch lists documenting deficiencies.

DETAILS:

• Doubled size of the baggage area
• New rental car counters
• New space for the Huntsville-Madison County Convention and Visitors Bureau
