SAN DIEGO, Calif. —The Green Build Terminal Expansion at the San Diego International Airport, one of PCL Construction’s design-build project, has received the Design-Build Institute of America, “National Award of Merit” in the Aviation category. The awards program recognizes exemplary collaboration and integration in design-build project delivery, and honors the Turner/PCL/Flatiron Joint Venture’s outstanding achievement in building one of the region’s recent landmark projects.
As the first design-build and largest project in the history of the San Diego International Airport, The Green Build is essential in supporting a nearly 100 percent anticipated increase in airport traffic over the next 20 years. The $480-million Terminal 2 project includes a three-story, 460,000-square-foot expansion of the terminal with 10 new gates, twice as many security lanes, expanded concessions and 1.5 million square feet of new taxiway and jet parking.
The Turner/PCL/Flatiron Joint Venture’s approach to the project saved the owner 10 percent in overall costs from the original estimate due to value engineering and fast tracking of the schedule, which allowed construction to begin while the terminal was still under design. Originally targeted for LEED Silver certification, the airport expansion received LEED Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, making it the only commercial airport in the country to receive this rating.
