San Diego International Airport consists of approximately 470,000 square feet of public and non-public areas. The Green Build Expansion is three stories including airline check-in and ticket lobby, security screening, baggage handling, public art, restrooms and office spaces. Other related service and support areas includes expanded concession areas providing more dining and shopping options, more security lanes improving the flow of passengers through the terminal and 10 new gates reducing terminal congestion and providing expanded comfortable passenger waiting areas.
General Coatings’ foreman Glen Lovejoy and his crew worked closely with the General Contractor Component West, The Joint Venture Team of Turner Construction/PCL, and with the Airport Authority on a daily basis. Working with numerous field supervisors to meet each of their schedules in specific areas, countless onsite meetings, working both in and around security designated areas, day and night shifts and applying High Performance Coatings and Traffic Coatings to exterior stairs were just some of the challenges our crew had to experience and overcome.
Construction of the largest improvement project in the Airports history, The Green Build will help meet the Airport’s future demand for travel, while improving customer service and serving as an economic stimulus for the San Diego region. Budgeted as a $1 Billion project, it opened on schedule in August 2013 at $907 million, $45 Million under budget. The Green Build created 1,000 jobs at peak construction and General Coatings Corporation is proud to be part of this endeavor.
