Construction of the 255,000-square-meter, $2-billion Terminal 2 of Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) in Bengaluru is underway, with project management services by Turner Construction and civil contractors Larsen and Toubro (L&T) working against time. Conceived as a terminal within a garden and designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the project’s first phase of construction is scheduled to be completed by March 2021. T2 is anticipated to handle 65 million passengers by 2025 when the second phase will be completed over a total area of 450,000 sq m.
L&T’s scope of work includes design, engineering, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning, including the integration of services and utilities along with the airport's systems, support facilities and buildings. It is also constructing a second runway of 400 m to be completed by the end of the year.
