Vinci has completed the extensions of the Phnom Penh and Siem Reap airports in Cambodia.

The projects, which entailed an investment of over $100m, will double the annual passenger handling capacity of the airports from 5m to 10m.

Vinci said that the investments are designed to enable the airports to accommodate substantial air traffic growth. Over the past 20 years, the number of passengers has increased ten-fold, driven by the country’s dynamic economy and tourism sector.

The projects were carried out within the framework of the concession held by Vinci Airports, in collaboration with Muhibbah.

Vinci Construction Grands Projets started the expansion projects in 2013 and made use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology in the projects for better safety performance and construction schedule compliance.
