Fluor, Hensel Phelps, Lockheed Martin Win Airport Security Planning Contracts
Federal contracts to plan the stepped-up federal security mandated for the nation's airports have been awarded to teams led by Fluor Corp., Hensel Phelps Construction Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp. The contracts, announced by the U.S. Dept. of Transportation's Transportation Security Administration on April 25, call for each team to submit a plan and a timetable for federalizing screening of airport passengers and luggage.
TSA's major tasks include shifting to federal screeners from a private workforce and installing new baggage-scanning machines at 429 major U.S. airports.
