Upgrade Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), Nairobi

The project involves the upgrading, expansion and redesign of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi, Kenya, at a cost of approximately $68.8 million (US). The re-designing of the passenger terminals will see shops at the airport demolished to decongest it. Additional space will be created including airline parking at both passenger and cargo aprons. The extension of the passenger-terminal apron will include a total pavement area of about 100 000m², about 50 000m² of rigid concrete pavement, 50 000m² of block paving and 50 000m² of asphalt concrete paving. Associated stormwater drainage works will also be included. The second phase will take 18 months to complete. It will involve the construction of Unit Four terminal and a three storey car park to accommodate 1,500 cars and another parking for 400 cars. The third phase would involve alteration of the ring building and arrival terminals.
