The consortium formed by the companies FCC Construcción, Salini Impregilo,and Aecom as designer has been selected for the development of the design and construction contract for the expansion project of Lima’s new international terminal. This selection follows the signing of the 7th Addendum to the LAP Concession Agreement entered into with the Peruvian State (Ministry of Transport & Communications - MTC). After an exhaustive process of prequalification and competition that lasted nine months and brought together renowned international companies (all experts in airport construction worldwide), the client Lima Airport Partners (LAP) awarded the contract to the Amancae consortium, led by FCC Construcción. The expansion project of ‘Jorge Chávez International Airport’ includes the design, construction of two runways, a new terminal, a business complex with new logistics areas and warehouses, parking areas, and a new control tower. All this will mean an increase in operational capacity, given that the extension of the airport will increase capacity from 2 to 9 million passengers a year and thus meet a demand of more than 30 million passengers per year. When the project ends, the new airport infrastructure will be the largest and most modern in the region, thus reinforcing the development and integration of the economic and business sector in Callao, where the airport is located. With the award of this contract, a series of preliminary works will be initiated prior to the main work, including environmental remediation, topographic works, and detailed geotechnical tests, installation of construction offices, etc. All with the main objective of implementing an infrastructure that will benefit millions of users and contribute to the development of the country. FCC Construcción has executed highly complex international airport projects, such as the T-1 Passenger Terminal at Barcelona-El Prat Airport, the third runway and the new T4 passenger terminal at MadridBarajas, the new passenger terminal of Riga Airport (Latvia), and the control tower of El Dorado Airport in Colombia. FCC Construction had also been selected to build the new airport terminal in Mexico City, which was to be the largest infrastructure project in Latin America, capable of handling 125 million passengers a year or 342,000 passengers a day. #1088.5
