mindset. It shows in the finished project: a world
class hub, with cutting-edge amenities and
components.
“Hill applies the best practices not only of our
airport work to our terminal and other passenger-
impacted projects, but also our experience in
mixed-used retail and hospitality projects to make
certain the passenger experience is exceptional,”
says McKenna. “This expertise allows us to present
such ideas as reevaluating space locations to
take full advantage of the technological advances
in passenger processing, flow through ticketing
operations, smart curbs to expedite check-in, and
common use gates shared by multiple carriers. At
Midfield, we worked with contractors to develop
the best solutions available for the Abu Dhabi
Airports Company, whether for wayfinding,
reducing noise, maximizing amenities, or
protecting passenger traffic.”

On an even greater scale than the Midfield
Terminal project, the $1.2 billion Bahrain Airport
Modernization Program (AMP) encompasses
two new terminals, associated infrastructure,
hotels, retail venues, and other elements.
Hill’s services for the project include preparing
a project management plan, establishing a
general budget, developing a preliminary master
schedule, assisting with tender and award, design
management, and construction management.
Hill Vice President Uzaif Wasif is helping to lead
the AMP. “Next generation airports like Bahrain
International are all about realizing greater
efficiencies for both landside and airside projects.
This means accommodating larger aircraft with
additional seats, which means more passengers
in the terminals, more vehicles in the rental car
facilities, more space for concessions, more cars for
monorails, and all the rest.”
