“McCarthy has displayed a high level of collaboration while delivering an added value to the owner. They bring an innovative approach to project delivery.”
— Shelly Hayden, AIA, CSI, manager, airport architecture, Clark County Department of Aviation
McCarran hosted a record 46.2 million passengers in 2006 — with that number expected to significantly increase in coming years.
To help meet that demand, McCarthy is building a $109 million, 128,000-square-foot addition to the airport’s satellite D northwest wing, which will add nine gates to the facility. As part of the contract, McCarthy is also installing an arresting vehicle barrier system — the first one to be used at a U.S. commercial airport. The system is comprised of stationary, removable and retractable bollards positioned at all airport entrances, along with an array of wire rope cables strung around the property to protect the airside operations from extraneous vehicle traffic. Most recently, McCarthy has also been awarded a $153.7 million civil and foundation project for McCarran’s new Terminal 3. The satellite D addition is scheduled to be complete in fall 2008. Architect: Tate Snyder Kimsey Architects, Henderson, Nev.
