What is at stake.
Apron paving needs airfield closures, the building needs a sorting system with a long lead time, and the operator cannot open without both. The design-build schedule treated them as separate projects.
How we control it.
What our schedulers and cost engineers are doing on this project.
Airside and landside joined
Apron work, utilities and the building share one integrated schedule with the airport's closure plan inside it.
Sorting system critical
Conveyor and sortation install, testing and trial runs are scheduled as the true critical path to opening.
Cost forecasting
Monthly estimate at completion shows where contingency is being used, and why.
Peak season as finish
The peak season start is a hard milestone, with float reported every month.
Where it stands.
Freight peaks on a date nobody can move. So we built the schedule backward from it.
