Description

This book presents the results of a first-of-its-kind industry-wide research study of the US airport infrastructure sector. It examines and identifies improvements to the construction governance structures utilized by airport owners to oversee the delivery of construction infrastructure projects to achieve budget, financial, and schedule objectives. This domain has not been well researched in academia or by practitioners, even though it is one of the most dynamic and significant construction infrastructure end markets. This subject is extremely topical, as most airports in the US are in the midst of major capital improvement programs to meet burgeoning demands and advancement of new technologies.
This unique book presents how airport organizations use the construction project governance function throughout the project delivery cycle: planning, design, and construction. Augmenting the research results are extensive case studies of different features of aviation project governance structures, providing in-depth insights into the inner workings of project governance structures and associated project delivery methods, including design/bid/build, design/build, and public-private partnerships (PPP).
The book is ideally suited to any construction/project management/project governance course in higher education supporting Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or Aviation Management Degrees. This book is also a tool for airport executives and program management consultants to inform on the governance and management of infrastructure projects in general and airport construction projects in particular.
