Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects (DAEP) has tendered three packages covering superstructure works in Al-Maktoum International Airport.
Interested bidders have until 23 March to submit their proposals. The superstructure works covered by the contract includes areas such as the West Terminal and concourse one. Moreover, it includes Concourse two and Concourse three.
Construction on these packages began in November last year, when DAEP formally selected a contractor to deliver the substructure works. According to an official description on DAEP’s website, the expanded airport’s West Terminal will be a seven-level, 800,000-square-meter facility. Furthermore, it will have an annual capacity of 45 million passengers. It will be the second of three terminals at Al-Maktoum International Airport.
Furthermore, it will be linked to the airside by a 14-station automated people-mover (APM) system. In August, DAEP had received bids from firms to build the APM at the airport. The system will run under the apron of the entire airfield and the airport’s terminals. It will also consist of several tracks, taking passengers from the terminals to the concourses. The airport is advancing its metro link known as the Al-Maktoum metro link, expected to facilitate accessibility to passengers across the city. More
