Description
The program includes two major projects: The Runway Development Project and the New International Terminal. The new terminal provides an increase in international and US destined travel capacity for the future. YYC can link local and transiting passengers to worldwide destinations as they add two million square feet of space fit for its 24 new gates, various new shops and amenities, overall doubling the size of the existing terminal building.
Completed in 2015, the construction management project is one of the largest in Alberta history. The General Contractor, Ellis Don Construction worked to construct a state of the art crisplant baggage system. The Project Manager was one of the many who used Onware’s software for their CA work for tracking and reporting purposes.
