As part of the North Terminal Development Program at MIA, MCM completed a wide range of airport improvements in Concourses B, C & D as the Prime Contractor under Trade contract packages 19-22. The work under these packages included but was not limited to: selective demolition, steel structures, concrete & masonry work, including elevated concrete decks with pre-¬stressed precast concrete joists; new roofing, stucco, paint, and other finishes; auger cast piles and pile caps and new mechanical penthouse, stair tower and elevator shaft. As a key member of the commissioning team, MCM performed enabling work necessary to bring online and operate 35 new gates (Gates D20 - D60). Nearly all of the work related to these improvements was completed in secure, back-of-house areas. Much of this back-of-house work was accessed through the Aircraft Operations Area (AOA), and owing to MCM’s comprehensive coordination, occurred without any interruptions to ongoing airport operations. 

 

A key component included in these contract packages was the construction of a highly-specialized Explosive Trace Detector Building on the Ramp level, adjacent to Concourse B. This building was constructed to support more than 1.9 miles of baggage handling system conveyors, designed to process approximately 40,000 bags/ day, and ultimately serves as a checkpoint through which all cargo is screened for Improvised Explosive Devices (IED’s). Enabling work performed by MCM for the baggage handling system included: 

• Motor control pads 

• Steel bollards 

• All other structural interfaces 

• Coordination between the TSA, CBP, FAA, and MIA Airside Ops to ensure timely construction and commissioning
