MAY 07
TOUR - DFW AIRPORT SHOWCASE
7:30 PM
Meet in Lobby
3.0 DBIA CEH
Join an elite group of AEC leaders for an exclusive, "boots-on-the-ground" investigation into the $12 billion DFW Forward capital program. This isn't a standard airport tour—it’s a deep dive into two projects redefining the boundaries of the Design-Build delivery model: the record-breaking modular construction of Terminal F and the consolidation of Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) facilities.
Why You Should Attend
In the world of aviation, "time is money" is an understatement. DFW is currently executing a $12 Billion capital program that requires building in the middle of one of the world’s busiest airports.
By attending this tour, you will see:
Modularity at an Unprecedented Scale: Step onto the site of Terminal F Phase 1, where the team recently moved six "megastructures" across active taxiways—the largest modular terminal expansion in history, with individual units weighing as much as 12 Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
Mission-Critical Safety Innovation: Explore the new ARFF stations, designed to withstand F5 tornadoes and ensure DFW Airport remains safe and secure.
The "Design-Build Done Right" Secret Sauce: Learn how DFW partnered with their design-build teams to ensure success.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
Analyze the logistical and structural challenges of off-site modular fabrication and "megastructure" transport within active, high-security Air Operations Areas (AOA).
Evaluate design-build strategies for consolidating mission-critical public safety facilities while maintaining 24/7 emergency response continuity.
Describe the application of the Value Proposition Canvas (VPC) in the procurement and design phases to ensure multi-agency stakeholder alignment.
Assess the infrastructure requirements for sustainable aviation facilities, including 480V charging systems for electric emergency fleets and the integration of dynamic, energy-efficient glass facades.
