The Tucson Airport Authority recently selected Sundt Construction, Inc., a member of multiple AGC chapters, as the construction manager at risk for a terminal upgrade project expected to begin in late 2015. The project’s construction cost is budgeted at $18-23 million.

The Tucson International Airport terminal optimization program, which is Sundt’s third major venture for the airport since 2002, includes relocation of two existing security checkpoints to a new, enhanced configuration, expanded pre- and post-security concessions, and major building infrastructure upgrades. 

"Our previous success delivering both a terminal expansion and concourse renovations for the airport played a significant role in our selection for this project," said Sundt Project Director Kurt Wadlington. "When completed, the new facility will serve as an enhancement to the Tucson International Airport experience, increasing the  passenger’s level of service and opening up concessions opportunities that will help build airport revenues." 

The terminal improvements underscore Sundt’s reputation as a leader in aviation construction. Other notable Sundt airport projects include the Wichita Falls Municipal Airport Terminal Replacement in Wichita Falls, Texas; Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Passenger Terminal Expansion in Phoenix; and San Diego International Airport Landside Modifications in San Diego, California.
