French engineering and infrastructure specialist Airport de Paris Ingenierie (ADPi) has won a RO7.7 million ($20 million) contract to provide project management consultancy services linked to the development of the Seeb and Salalah airports.

Envisaged at Seeb is a new passenger terminal designed to cater to 12 million passengers per year in the first phase up from a present capacity of around three million passengers.
In Salalah, a new passenger terminal of a capacity of around two million passengers per year is proposed, along with a new cargo terminal and associated infrastructure.
A joint venture of Cowi and Larsen Architects and Consulting Engineers has already commenced work on the design of the new airports under a RO18.3 million contract awarded last May.
According to officials, Cowi and Larsen will work closely with the new project management consultants ADPi to finalise detailed design plans for the new terminals at Seeb and Salalah. Construction of the new terminals is expected to go to tender with a contractor selected later this year.
With its selection as project management consultant, ADPi will bring to the project its vast experience in the design and development of airport platforms and major infrastructure.
