design-build with major trade partners, including for the baggage handling sys- tem,” Brunswig said. “It really helped to bring the trade partners to the table early to sort out the logistical and construction challenges.”


Tese MEP partners delivered sub-


stantial savings on the building’s exhaust systems through their early coordination efforts. Tey limited the number of shafts going directly through the building and offered other input that increased con- structability and overall efficiency.

Phelps is currently building the Delta Skyway project under a $956 million contract employing CMR delivery. Te project will connect Terminal 2 and 3 on the secure side of the airport and will create a secure connector from Termi- nal 3 to the International Terminal. It is being constructed in two phases; Phase 1 is slated to open in 2022 and Phase 2 finishes in mid-2023. The CMR delivery approach has helped foster strong collaboration among the entire team which is co-located to- gether on site, Brunswig noted. “Everybody is rowing in the same direction and has to keep the same goals


in mind to be successful,” he commented. Te project team faces major logistical challenges accommodating up to 1,000 workers at peak construction on a “post- age stamp” sized jobsite that is blocked in by air traffic from three sides. Crews are working two shifts, six days a week to achieve the schedule, and Hensel Phelps is employing a host of solutions such as just-in-time deliveries scheduled for nighttime and use of prefabricated MEP systems that can be dropped into place. Teir proactive approach to early material procurement allowed them to avoid many of the supply chain issues that have impacted other projects.
