The installation of six modules that make up the first phase of the future sixth terminal at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in Texas has been completed. This is a significant milestone in a multi-phase project to expand capacity at the major U.S. hub.
This initial phase of Terminal F has been built using modular construction techniques. And for busy sites like airports, where space is limited and civil work can cause significant disruptions, it has major benefits.
For the new Terminal F, Mammoet worked with Walsh Group, who led the Innovation Next+ joint venture to build the initial 15-gate terminal concourse and new Skylink Station. The operation marks the biggest airport terminal modules ever moved, with the heaviest unit weighing 3,320 tons and measuring 85 meters in length.
The modules were fabricated at a nearby fabrication site on airport property and transported to the site, one by one, on Mammoet self-propelled modular transporters. The SPMTs were fitted with metal supports, which allowed them to be lifted via the stroke of the SPMTs before being carried across the tarmac and installed at their new home.
