Turner Construction Company was the prime builder for the T2 project and the design-build contractor for the roadways project. For both projects, Acumen was responsible for preparing, submitting and maintaining monthly Critical Path Method (CPM) construction schedules that detailed Turner’s progress for the construction phases. Acumen also developed and maintained the overall program master schedule. Acumen used Primavera Project Planner software to develop and track all schedules.

The T2 project expanded the existing facility by an additional 108,000 square feet on two levels, added seven new arrival/departure gates, a new baggage claim area, along with a new mechanical services building, and expanded the ticketing and security facilities. It also included major renovations and upgrades to existing facilities throughout Terminal 2.

The roadways project entailed the complete renovation of curbside drop-off and pick-up areas, including expansion of on and off-airport parking, valet parking, as well as ground transportation. The ground transportation renovation included the roadways for all door-to-door and hotel shuttles as well as taxies. The parking area renovation included construction of an all new parking management office and entrance and exit plazas, and installation of a state-of-the-art vehicle access and revenue control system.
