Project Outline
The Imam Khomeini International Airport was an
outstanding example of the impressive range of expertise that modern
megaprojects demand: Project management and control, procurement,
construction, and administration of the design and engineering
subcontracts. Therefore, at the prequalification stage, Kayson had to
prove its ability to plan, direct and manage this fast-track,
multidisciplinary megaproject.
It is no wonder that Kayson has been recognized as one of the few
construction and engineering firms in developing countries which
possesses the resources and technological know-how necessary to build an
international airport, and the government agency in charge of evaluating
contracting and consulting engineering firms, the Management and
Planning Organization, has assigned Kayson grade 1 (the highest ranking
granted by that organization) in building transportation systems. One
only has to take a look at the following facts and figures to get a true
picture of the magnitude, complexity, and speed of execution of this
megaproject:
 |
The design and build contract between
Kayson and the Ministry of Roads and Transportation was signed
in Oct,1995. |
|
|
The first set of drawings were completed a month later |
|
|
Construction of the terminal building started less than two
months later. |
|
|
Overall, 6000 sheets of drawings were
prepared. |
|
|
Over 25000 activities were supervised
and controlled on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. |
|
|
Subcontract management involved 27
major consulting engineering and contracting firms, including
the prominent French company, ADP. |
|
|
500 cubic meters of concrete, 25 tonnes
of reinforcement bars, and 100 tonnes of paving material were
used each day. |
|
|
138 design engineers and technicians
labored to prepare the drawings, while 90 civil engineers and
technicians, backed by a workforce of over 850 people and 300
pieces of construction equipment, worked virtually around the
clock to put them into effect. |
