A consortium led by ACS/HOCHTIEF has been chosen as the ‘recommended developer’ for a $1.95 billion modernization public-private partnership (PPP) rail project at Los Angeles International airport.
The consortium consists of ACS Infrastructure Development (Iridium), Dragados USA, HOCHTIEF PPP Solutions, Flatiron, Fluor, Balfour Beatty and Bombardier. ACS Infrastructure Development and HOCHTIEF PPP Solutions each has an 18 percent stake in the consortium (ACS Group 36 percent).
The PPP rail project includes planning, financing, construction, and 25-year operation of an automated people mover located above the ground, which will have six stops connecting new parking facilities, hire car points and metro light rail stations with the airline terminals.
A track of 2.2 miles in length, on which up to nine trains will be able to travel simultaneously, will in the future improve passengers’ access to the terminals of the second-largest airport in the USA. And includes a delivery of the 44 Bombardier APM vehicles.
