Phase I of SLC Airport’s $3.6B Expansion Nears Completion By Katherine Devlin CEG EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
Construction on Phase 1 of the new $3.6B Salt Lake City Airport has made significant progress in the past few months. Concrete pours, paving and steel erection have been highlights. Ground was broken for the new facilities in July 2014. According to the airport’s website, prior to the aboveground work, underground stone columns were installed to provide seismic stability and steel piles were installed to support the weight of the building. In May, scaffolding came down on The New SLC plaza, featuring a 45-ft. tall window curtain wall. Paving began at the arrivals terminal and concrete pours for the east pedestrian bridge were completed. June saw steel erection completed for the Terminal building’s expansion; the beginning of concrete pours for the sidewalks; and concrete being poured for the pedestrian walkway from the parking garage to the Gateway. In July, crews poured the final section of the elevated roadway. This road is expected to ease congestion and will be used for dropping off passengers. Crews also began dismantling tower cranes over the complex’s parking garage. see AIRPORT page 6
