In August 2011 the City of Houston and United Airlines agreed to a $1 billion reconstruction of Terminal B at IAH, which includes increasing the available aircraft parking positions, enlarged centralized passenger holdroom facilities, concession facilities, and three new concourses, in order to accommodate the projected increase in regional express passengers. Before the construction of these facilities can begin, Houston Airports must complete two crucial projects: Terminal B Enabling Works and Terminal B Apron Reconstruction. The Enabling phase will relocate, remove, extend and/or upgrade existing utilities, roadways and the Vehicle Service Road (VSR) to allow both the existing continual operation of the airport and United Airlines, as well as the start of construction of a hydrant fueling system, airside drainage systems and airside utilities.
Currently the project status for Terminal B South Side Enabling Project (PN643B) is as follows: Concrete demolition is approximately 85 percent complete; sanitary sewer line is 75 percent complete; storm sewer is 10 percent complete; and the fuel transmission line is 5 percent complete. The fuel jumper line is 100 percent complete. The RCA package is complete for Terminal B South Apron Reconstruction (PN643C); the anticipated date for Council Action is April 11, 2012.
