WSP has been providing independent engineering services at QAIA, as part of WSP + CC, since their initial appointment in December 2007.
The terminal is being built under a public-private partnership agreement between the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and Airport International Group, the airport concessionaire.
The WSP + CC joint venture has also been reappointed by the project financiers, led by the World Banks’ IFC and the Islamic Development Bank (IDB), to provide technical advice and support related to the project financing.
WSP director Jim Ratliff said: “Our reappointment to this high profile project reflects WSP’s increasing presence right across the aviation sector, from front-end planning to design and environmental consultancy. We have worked on several of the world’s largest airports such as the new Hamad International Airport (HIA) in Doha, which is ongoing, and Heathrow/Gatwick Airports so this just consolidates our offering.
“In the UK our structures, building services and acoustics teams are helping to further upgrade Heathrow airport and we have just finished a connectivity study on Leeds Bradford International Airport (LBIA).”
