Aconex in Action

King Shaka International Airport – Durban, South Africa

The $900 million King Shaka International Airport includes a 19,500 square meter domestic and international terminal that will be able to support around six million passengers each year. It features a single 3,700-meter runway that will be able to accommodate some of the world’s largest aircraft, such as the Airbus A380. It is expected to be operational by 2010, in time for the FIFA World Cup.

It is part of the Dube TradePort development which also includes a Trade Zone and a Cyberport. The development is situated in the fast growing KwaZulu-Natal region and is in close proximity to the freight corridor of Gauteng and the ports of Durban and Richards Bay.

Since the project began in July 2007, 479 users have used Aconex to store and manage more than 173,000 documents and correspondence items.
