PANYNJ JFK Airport Infrastructure Improvements
The Port Authority of NY & NJ (PANYNJ) has broken ground on a transformative $19 billion dollar public/private redevelopment project to build a new John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). The new airport will bring a unified terminal layout and will include two giant new terminals, expansion and modernization of existing terminals, streamlined roadways, world-class facilities, state of the art security, centralized ground transportation options, expanded taxiways, popular local retail and dinning, and provide a stunning display of New York artwork. PANYNJ aims to provide travelers with a top of the line world-class experience that they can enjoy and appreciate and continue utilizing the airport’s terminals for all travel opportunities.
The goal of the JFK Redevelopment Program is to transform JFK into a modern 21st-century airport with major recons. Techno, as a sub consultant to WSP, is providing construction management and inspection services at four major terminal projects:
