Six prefabricated modules forming an 80,000-sq-ft new concourse have rolled into place at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Delivered on self-propelled modular transporters between Aug. 26 and Sept. 9, the modules are a first of their kind for North American airports.
The modules, complete with metal panels and glazing, were transported a quarter mile across the airfield, including a 90° turn, from the prefabrication yard to the site every other night by three SMPTs moving in parallel at up to 5 mph.
