25 CONSTRUCTION LAS VEGAS Photos by Dana Hoff Photography tutor perini building corp. mccarran international airPort Tutor Perini Building Corp.'s first construction project at McCarran Interna- tional Airport was more than 32 years ago. Since then, the company has built some of the airport's most significant expansion projects, including four major terminals: Terminal 3 (T3), Terminal D (phase 1), the International Terminal, and the Central Terminal. Tutor Perini's most recent project was McCarran's newest terminal, T3, Nevada's largest public works job built to date. T3's contemporary design and advanced technology position it as a leader in aviation innovation. T3 has 14 aircra gates, seven domestic and seven direct international and includes some the airline industry's latest tech- nologies. Each new gate has self-boarding equipment; with the simple scan of a pre-printed boarding pass or mobile device, verified passengers can immediately board their flight without the need of an airline attendant. e terminal has eight miles of baggage conveyors, 15,538 square-feet of skylight and enough cubic yards of concrete to pave a 4-foot wide by 4-inch thick sidewalk stretching from Las Vegas to Oklahoma City. Constructing T3 was a massive project that required a team effort from hundreds of firms. To highlight T3's complexity, construction involved 50,000 building department inspections and over 100 companies. Termi- nal 3 spans 1.9 million square feet. Lengthwise it can fit six football fields, including the end zones on the south side of Level 2. T3 is the future of aviation. Tutor Perini Building Corp.
