Fast Flying Steel/Las Vegas Airport Terminal 3 Tops Out Steel Six Weeks Early

摘要

The team of Phoenix-based Perini Building Co. and SME Steel Contractors of West Jordan, Utah, made erection of the main steel components at the new Terminal 3 at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport look easy, and the work was completed six weeks ahead of schedule. The job, which took 20,000 tons of heavy structural steel for a 1.9-million-sq-ft building with a frame 300 ft wide and a half-mi long, topped out in June. "Everyone involved with this project played an important part in getting the job done right and ahead of time," says Mike Kerchner, Perini's project executive in charge of the Terminal 3 job. "If you want to call it something, call it a great example of what partnering is all about."
