PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
In the late 1990s, the City of Atlanta’s Department of Aviation approved a 10-year capital improvement program that would enable the world’s busiest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL), to reduce delays, accommodate forecasted demand, and enhance customer service. Parsons, a partner of International Aviation Consultants, played a significant role in the development, planning, design, and construction of several projects, including a new air traffic control tower, terminal construction, landside access and parking facilities, and the $1.2 billion Fifth Runway, one of the most complex structures of its kind and one of the largest construction undertakings in Georgia’s history. The runway configuration makes ATL one of the few airports in the world capable of accommodating triple simultaneous landings in instrument flight rule (IFR) conditions.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
Little Rock National Airport initiated a 10-year renovation plan to recapture space and support its continued growth. Parsons is providing construction management at-risk services for the Phase 1 Terminal Redevelopment Program. This program is divided into 10 sub-projects, each on a concurrent timeline. Each sub-project is procured and constructed separately by Parsons through a competitive bid process that supports 15 percent disadvantaged business enterprise participation on every project and is phased to allow for uninterrupted airport operations. This unique phasing and temporary relocation was important to the early design process and is coordinated with owner-furnished projects, including baggage handling, transportation security upgrades, closed-captioned television service, and other associated improvements. As an extension of airport staff, Parsons is working to support Little Rock National Airport’s 2020 Vision Plan to position it as a leader in regional transportation.
