Tutor Perini team won US$ 1.1 billion AirTrain system in USA
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has awarded a US$ 1.18 billion contract to Tutor Perini Corporation in a joint venture with O&G Industries for the AirTrain Newark Replacement Program - Guideway and Stations Project at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, USA.
The scope of work includes the design and construction of a 2.5-mile (4 km) elevated, automated people-mover train system with three stations that will replace the existing AirTrain, which has been in operation since 1996 and is now struggling to accommodate Newark’s growing passenger numbers. Tutor Perini is the managing partner in the joint venture with O&G serving as a 25% partner. Parsons Corporation (PSN) will serve as the joint venture’s lead design subcontractor for the project.
The Guideway is part of a larger expansion and upgrades to Newark that includes work on terminals, infrastructure, roads, and taxiways. The airport’s Terminal A opened last year, replacing a 50-year-old building. Construction is expected to begin on Guideway in 2025 and to be completed in 2030.
