June 20 2024 - 8:05AM
Hill International, Inc., delivering the infrastructure of change,
announced today it was selected by the City of Fresno Airports
Department to provide construction management consulting services
for the Terminal Expansion project at the Fresno Yosemite
International Airport (FAT). This commercial and military airport
in Fresno, CA, serves as a major gateway to Yosemite, Kings Canyon,
and Sequoia National Parks. It offers a range of domestic and
international flights, playing a pivotal role in connecting
California's Central Valley to the rest of the United States and
the world.
The multi-phase project aims to enhance the
passenger experience by adding a new terminal concourse, increasing
capacity to meet passenger demand, and improving safety, security,
and operational efficiency for both domestic and international
flights. The project includes constructing a new terminal concourse
and hold room with two new jet bridge swing gates for domestic and
international use, as well as adding four concession retail spaces
and a new and remodeled tenant office facility. It also involves
building a new federal inspection service (FIS) facility with an
attached arrivals lobby and outdoor plaza, expanding the passenger
screening checkpoint, and installing a new Checked Baggage
Inspection System (CBIS) along with remodeling the baggage makeup
area and baggage conveyor.
Additionally, the project will demolish the
existing FIS facility and complete significant exterior paving,
sitework, parking facilities, and related infrastructure upgrades.
Overall, the project will expand the airport to meet current and
future needs, incorporate ADA improvements, enhance the travel
experience, and provide increased travel options for the
region.
Hill’s services will include establishing
project management and quality assurance protocols, engaging with
stakeholders, assessing contractor performance and project budgets,
and overseeing on-site inspection, staffing reviews,
constructability assessments, and value engineering.
Andrew Kreck, PE, CCM, First Vice President,
Northern California Operations, said of the award: “We're thrilled
to be a part of Fresno Yosemite International Airport's terminal
expansion. This project is a great opportunity for Hill to
contribute to the region's growth, and we're eager to help shape a
facility that will improve the travel experience and meet the
evolving needs of passengers and airlines alike.”
"Our team is excited to apply our global
experience to meet the growing demands of air travel, focusing on
enhancing operational efficiencies and improving the passenger
experience,” says Hill Chief Executive Officer Raouf S. Ghali.
“This effort aligns with our mission to develop infrastructure that
makes a positive impact on communities and economies."
