Contract Details and Financials
The total contract value amounts to a substantial USD 323 million, with Skanska claiming a 55% stake valued at USD 178 million, roughly equivalent to SEK 1.8 billion.

Scope of Work
The project scope encompasses a range of critical tasks aimed at enhancing LAX’s infrastructure. Key elements include:

- Demolition and Removal: Existing structures that conflict with the new construction plans will be systematically demolished and removed.
- Storm Drain Improvements: The project also entails the installation of temporary and permanent storm drain systems, complete with piping, manholes, headwalls, and junction structures. These enhancements are vital for managing stormwater effectively.
- Utility Relocations: As part of the upgrade, existing utilities will need to be relocated to accommodate new structures and pathways, ensuring that airport operations continue smoothly.
