US-construction contractor Suffolk Construction Company (Suffolk) has begun work on Concourse E at Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in the US.<\/p>\n

This initiative aims to prepare the airport for an anticipated increase in passenger traffic over the next decade.<\/p>\n

The expansion\u2019s second phase will transform the terminal across all three levels, adding a new 14-gate Terminal E concourse, expandable to 19, capable of handling an additional 10,000-15,000 passengers per day.<\/p>\n

It will also add a new ticketing lobby, baggage claim area, baggage handling system, a new security checkpoint, expanded retail and dining options, and chiller plant upgrades.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the project includes airside improvements, terminal roadway modifications, passenger boarding bridges, and provisions for future Terminal E gate expansions.<\/p>\n

Suffolk\u2019s approach to construction, incorporating data and advanced technologies, is expected to boost efficiency and enhance RSW\u2019s infrastructure, according to the company.<\/p>\n

Suffolk Florida Gulf Coast and National Gaming president Pete Tuffo said: \u201cOur collaborative and transparent approach to the early planning and preconstruction of aviation projects helps to address and resolve any challenges well before construction begins.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuffolk\u2019s ability to successfully navigate complex projects and timelines without causing disruption to an airport\u2019s ongoing operations is a testament to our meticulous planning and execution skills. Our unique approach helps to ensure airports remain fully functional and efficient throughout the entire construction process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Suffolk has also led aviation projects, including renovations at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and expansion at Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n

In 2022, SNC-Lavalin resumed work<\/a> on Phase 1 of the RSW Terminal Expansion Project. Awarded a five-year master services contract in 2016, the firm provided design and construction administration services for the Lee County Port Authority.<\/p>\n
