Logan International Airport
The project involves renovation of the baggage-handling system and check-in hall in Terminal C. A new shell space will also be constructed to connect with a planned future extension. In addition, the terminal’s HAVC system is to be replaced, which includes installation of the ceiling, sprinklers, lighting and the electrical and telecommunications systems.
Skanska’s assignment includes preconstruction services including planning, cost estimates, logistics and procurement. Work on the site will commence immediately and is scheduled to be completed in 18 months. The terminal will be in operation for the entire construction period.
The construction management assignment will be conducted by Skanska USA Building’s office in Boston, Massachusettes. In 2008, Skanska redeveloped Terminal A, which became the first U.S. airport terminal to achieve certification in accordance with the LEED international environmental management system. Skanska also renovated Nantucket Memorial Airport, the first airport in the U.S. to use geothermal heat.
