Day 2 - 15 March
Session: Airport Design, Planning & Development - Middle East & Asia

11:55 - 12:30 - Kuwait Support Terminal – when fast track means fast smart
Synopsis: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation in Kuwait seeks to construct and commission a separate Support Passenger Terminal, aimed at providing an additional handling capacity to support T1 until T2 is operating. Cengiz and AECOM are helping Kuwait achieve the goal and improve transportation through this facility. The challenge of this multidisciplinary project is the tight schedule. The airport and its facilities will be operational in November 2017, which allows only 15 months of intense development. The presentation displays the design and construction features to achieve the milestones while developing smart, innovative, cost-effective solutions.
