DALLAS-McCarthy Building Cos. has kicked off construction on an estimated $15-million project of a futuristic Automated People Mover System that is part of a $2.6 billion capital development program at Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport.

McCarthy has a 15-member crew in place on its portion of the APM project, which is being overseen by Hensel Phelps Construction Co. As the project progresses, McCarthy will have a crew of 50 working on the APM system.

Michael J. McWay, president of McCarthy’s Texas Division, tells GlobeSt.com that this is just the first of several airport projects that McCarthy hopes to secure. He says the team also will be sizing up additional terminal work, parking garage and more of the APM system, which is projected to take nearly four years to complete. For now, McCarthy’s focus is the contract that’s in hand and one that requires the bulk of the work to be done between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.
