BARC is planned to be responsible for pre-construction and construction management services for the renovation of terminals A and C and the construction of a rail station to connect future routes, for the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) and the Fort Worth Transportation Authority, to the airport.

Balfour Beatty Chief Executive Ian Tyler said: "We are delighted to have been selected to deliver this major infrastructure project with our joint venture partners. Our ability to leverage the experience and relationships across our businesses in the US, combined with our strong multi-disciplinary capabilities and project management skills, are ideally suited to complex major infrastructure developments of this kind. We look forward to delivering a key part of Dallas-Fort Worth’s transport infrastructure."
