SFO is the 13th busiest airport in the United States and was recently named the Best Airport in North America. It accommodated more than 50 million passengers in 2023, an increase of nearly 35 percent over the previous year. In addition to airfield upgrades, SFO’s US $11 billion Capital Improvement Plan calls for infrastructure improvements to help it achieve net zero energy and net zero carbon for airport-controlled emissions targets by 2030.
“Our airport team’s deft experience of successfully navigating improvement programs through funding, construction phasing and constructability challenges have enabled us to deliver important airfield projects from inception through closeout at 15 of the busiest airports in the US and seven of the top ten airports around the globe,” says Steve Morriss, President, U.S., Latin America, and Minerals & Metals, AtkinsRéalis. “Clients trust our seasoned professionals to maintain existing levels of service while completing complex land constrained airfield projects, like the ones at SFO.”
