Dubai airport to award Terminal 2 contract
01 April 2005
The contract for the Dh488.11 million ($132.8 million) expansion of the Terminal 2 of the Dubai International Airport is likely to be awarded by the Dubai Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) this month with the bids currently being evaluated for the project, said a spokesman for the Dubai Municipality.
This will be followed by a civil engineering contract for Concourse 3, a specially designed and purpose-built terminal for Airbus A380 superjumbos, said Khalifa Suhail Al Zafein, director of engineering and projects at the DCA.
The project – expected to complete in two years – will upon completion have 110,000 sq m of built-up area to cater to five million passengers annually. The new termminal has been designed to have 62 check-in counters and six baggage carousels.
Detailed designs have been completed for Concourse 3 and bids will be invited for the work soon. The total cost of the Dubai International Airport expansion project will be Dh15 billion ($4.1 billion).
Currently, 7,000 workers are engaged at various sites of the airport. Al Zafein said contracts for about 80 per cent of the work for the airport expansion have been awarded, and the remainder will be decided by the end of the year.
