The Lane Construction Corporation, a U.S. subsidiary of the
Salini Impregilo Group, recently won contracts in the United Arab Emirates
(UAE) related to the Al Maktoum International Airport Expansion Project in
Dubai.
Lane will work at the airport alongside the National
Contracting Transportation Corp of Sharjah, UAE, and will be responsible for
roughly 60 percent of the $125 million project — a project that includes new
terminal facilities, concourses, runways, roads and tunnels.
Before the expansion occurs, Lane will construct temporary
fences and gates, utilities and site offices, as well as site security. The
expansion project is slated to begin in January and run for 31 months. After
completion, the airport should accommodate more than 220 million passengers per
year, a feat that would make the airport the largest in the world by size and
passenger capacity by 2050.
The contract highlights Salini Impregilo’s
reach and leadership in the infrastructure sector. Elsewhere in the UAE, the
group has worked on projects that include the Ras Al Khor Interchange and the
Parallel Roads R 881.
