Construction of Alief Village and Belle Park #2 Lift Station Diversions
Project
Construction and Inspection were needed for an $11.0 million dollar project for apron paving around the new terminal D-West, 6 new wide-body gates, a new sterile corridor, and refreshing the 12 existing gates in the north concourse. Gilbane Building company and it’s partner Austin Commercial were selected for construction. ATSER was selected as a key member of the Austin Gilbane Joint Venture (AGJV) on the Mickey Leland International Terminal Project at George Bush International Airport where AGJV was selected as the construction manager at Risk (CMAR) assisting Gilbane Building Company and it’s partner Austin Commercial in construction.
