To keep up with global shipping standards and stay competitive, the Massachusetts Port Authority launched the Conley Terminal modernization program in 2014. As part of the $850-million effort by the agency, known also as Massport, the $215-million New Berth 10 project was designed and constructed to provide 1,300 linear ft of new space that can accommodate larger container ships—some up to 22 shipping containers wide.

This glulam airport project continues on schedule despite construction challenges and the economy.

Constructing a cruise terminal at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic was a surreal experience for the project team, but pandemic disruptions did not derail work on the Norwegian Cruise Line Terminal B, now a soaring landmark at the Port of Miami that can handle cruise ships carrying up to 5,000 passengers.

This project transformed Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport’s smallest yet most used Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoint into one of the most technologically advanced checkpoints in the world—all while keeping it fully operational, according to the project team. 

The $344-million, five-story connection between Terminals 1 and 2 provides nearly 240,000 sq ft for ticket counters, baggage carousels, a bus gate and an additional screening checkpoint as well as a vertical circulation core that will connect with LAX’s future automated people mover. 

Built during World War II, the Military Ocean Terminal Concord (MOTCO) is one of only two ship loading and offloading munitions facilities in the country.

With construction of the $1 billion North Terminal entering its final stages, officials with the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport are considering the future of the old airport building, which will become vacant when the new terminal opens on May 15.
