Turner & Townsend, the global programme management and construction consultancy, has won a $10.5 million three-year contract to support the capital programme at Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport. The consultancy’s role includes estimating, cost management and project scheduling. 

DFW’s capital programme includes terminal refurbishment and expansion, new parking garages and overall improvement of the infrastructure to enhance the experience for 63 million passengers each year.

Tina Millan, Vice President, Head of Aviation USA for
 Turner & Townsend, said: “Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is the world’s fourth busiest airport, and with 1,850 flights per day everything has to run like clockwork. Our experience in leading complex programmes in live airports will help to deliver the ongoing capital programme while minimising impact on day-to-day operations and allow to plan for future growth.
