PHILADELPHIA and LOS ANGELES, Nov. 07, 2016 -- Hill International (NYSE:HIL), the global leader in managing construction risk, announced today that its joint venture with APSI Construction Management has received a new contract from Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) to continue providing project controls support services.  The five-year contract, which has an option for two additional years, has an estimated value to the joint venture of approximately $42.5 million.  Hill is a 51% partner in the joint venture and APSI is a 49% partner.

LAWA, a department of the City of Los Angeles, is currently in the midst of a multi-billion-dollar capital improvement program at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).  The centerpiece of the program is the New Tom Bradley International Terminal project, which includes new gate and concourse areas and a Great Hall for luxury dining and retail.  Additionally, there are several major airfield and facility projects underway that are part of the development program, including a new central utility plant, new taxiways and taxi lanes and renovations to other terminals.

“We are extremely honored that LAWA has selected the Hill/APSI team to support their capital improvement program,” said Michael B.
