Perini Building Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Perini Corporation (NYSE: PCR), said it has been awarded a $1.2 billion construction contract to build Terminal 3 at McCarran International Airport, Las Vegas, NV.

The project, which is expected to commence in August 2008, includes a new terminal building with an elevated roadway structure fronting the facility, over roadway pedestrian bridges, underground automated transit system infrastructure, and an aircraft ramp.

The steel-framed terminal is approximately 1.9 million square feet and will have a basement, three upper levels and roof-level penthouses. The building will include a baggage handling system for outbound and inbound processing and an in-line explosives detection system (EDS) for baggage screening. The building’s infrastructure is designed with extensive cabling for software interfaces. Other features planned are dynamic and static signage, way finding systems and Voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP).

The elevated roadway will extend the length of the terminal—approximately 90 feet wide and 2, 000 feet long. Construction of the elevated roadway will include a concrete box girder with cast concrete columns. The contract also includes pedestrian bridges leading to parking. The construction timeline to complete the entire project is estimated at three and one-half years.

Other projects Perini has built at McCarran International Airport Las Vegas, NV include Terminal D, Charter International Terminal, Central Terminal, Central heating and cooling plant, Host Marriott Services, and MGM Grand, Inc., check-in counters.
