San Diego International Airport
Expansion Terminal Development
San Diego, CA
The $700 million contract 1 project involved the construction expansion of the San Diego International Airport Terminal 2. Major construction elements in the project include
a major expansion of Terminal 2 by adding 10 additional gates and a doubling of the terminal dining and shopping venue. Included in the construction is the expansion of the
Terminal 2 apron and the addition of overnight airplane parking.
The $400 million contract 2 project involved the construction of a dual level access and departure roadway, a new parking maintenance office, and USO structure.
Construction project consisted of the construction of 5 Roadway bridges, an Elevated Departure Roadway, USO and Parking Maintenance Offices 2 Pedestrian Bridges and ingress and
egress roadways. The Concrete Box Girder EDR and Bridges were constructed under CALTRANS design and construction methods.
The bridges and EDR were constructed utilizing portable and movable aluminum false work support. Fly tables consisting of large segmental aluminum panels were fitted with WWR
and placed via crane atop the false work creating the lower form for the lower box section. Metal formwork side panels were placed followed by the installation of reinforcing
steel into the lower portion of the lower box. Outside diagonal wall reinforcing steel and top steel for the lower box were then installed in the lower box section and inside
diagonal wall installation was then installed followed by the placement of the lower box base and sidewalls. Reinforcing steel was then installed in the upper deck, side
barrier and top overhang and the top deck was placed and screeded.
