Terminal C – High C Gates Demolition + Rebuild at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)
Dallas, TX
PGAL led the design of the replacement for the aging High C Gates at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), addressing outdated infrastructure and increasing gate capacity to meet growing demand. Originally built in 1988 as a temporary extension, the deteriorated facility no longer met the airport’s operational or passenger service standards.
The nearly 80,000-square-foot, two-level terminal introduces a prefabricated modular shell-and-core structure. Off-site fabrication enabled overnight transport of modules across active airfields, minimizing disruption to passengers and operations. The new concourse supports five narrow-body aircraft or regional jets and elevates the domestic flight experience.
PGAL played a central role in coordinating modular design and off-site delivery with engineers and specialty consultants, while managing critical phasing and integration with adjacent terminal areas. This solution-driven approach allowed the project team to work within tight site constraints while maintaining safe, uninterrupted airport activity throughout construction.
For the first time at a U.S. airport, six modules, constructed offsite, were moved a mile across the airfield to their home at the terminal.
Throughout the project, PGAL demonstrated professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail. Their collaborative approach and commitment to innovation were evident from concept through installation.
