SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH — The joint venture team undertaking the New Salt Lake City Airport project has announced it’s reached the next phase of the project – the demolition of Salt Lake’s former airport.
As that work proceeds, the Holder/Big-D JV has issued a round-up of the main project,
construction of the new airport’s new terminal, Concourse A West. Work has also been completed on the airport’s Quick Turnaround facility and its Rental Service Site, noted a Nov. 10 release.
Phase I construction of the New SLC Airport came in on time and on budget. Phase II is expected to be completed by late 2024/early 2025.
The JV reports that construction personnel worked more than 8.5 million hours and the new SLC Airport cost $4.1 billion to construct. The new airport’s footprint covers 296.7 acres.
Among other notable accomplishments: airport workers installed 7,600 stone columns to ensure seismic stability, and they drove more than 3,200 steel piles.
Phase I included 49 elevators, 29 escalators and 18 moving walkways and the new airport’s baggage system features seven miles of conveyor belts.
Concourse A features 25 gates in Phase I, with another 22 expected in Phase II.
Amenities include 3,600 parking stalls, 24 bathrooms and a 28,000-square-foot Delta Sky Club.
Between the central terminal and the A and B concourses there will be some 58 shops and restaurants. Also, unique to the new terminal is the Greeting Room, a centralized facility that can accommodate between 300 to 400 people and is meant for large-scale reunions.
“Over the six-year course of the Phase I project, more than 16,000 men and women worked on construction of the New SLC Airport,” said Mike Sant, Holder/Big-D director of preconstruction, in a statement. “The new airport will be a global hub for the 21st century, meant to serve the people of Utah and travelers around the world for decades to come.”
