Project overview
Coordinating steel detailing across complex airport developments.
Over several years, Anatomic LP has provided structural steel detailing for multiple projects at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, contributing to terminal redevelopment, new concourse construction, and complex structural installations.
Our work encompasses approximately 10,000 tons of structural steel across Terminals A, C, and F.
Working across multiple terminal projects required adapting to different structural systems, construction phases, and existing airport conditions.
Our detailing scope ranged from complex roof framing and structural connections to steel assemblies prepared for specialized fabrication and erection sequences.

DFW AIRPORT EXPANSION
Multiple terminals. Multiple phases. One airport.
The ongoing development of DFW International Airport spans multiple terminals and construction phases. This animation highlights the location and scale of the airport’s expansion projects, including the Terminal A, C and F developments.
ACROSS THREE TERMINALS
Terminal A — Expansion Works
Anatomic LP also contributed structural steel detailing to Terminal A, extending our involvement across multiple phases of DFW Airport’s development program.
Terminal C — Redevelopment & Expansion
Our work on Terminal C supported a multi-phase redevelopment involving new gate areas, structural upgrades, and integration with the existing terminal.
The detailing scope included curved steel framing, long-span trusses, roof-edge framing, and complex shear, moment, and truss-to-column connections. Connections to existing steel and concrete structures added further coordination requirements.
The project was divided into four main sequences, with close coordination involving architectural and MEP systems, as well as stair, escalator, and elevator suppliers.

The Terminal F expansion includes a 400,000-square-foot concourse with 15 aircraft gates and a new Skylink Station connected to the airport’s existing passenger transportation system.
Our detailing work included distinctive wave-shaped steel framing and structural assemblies requiring precise coordination for fabrication and installation.
A defining feature of the project was its modular construction approach, with large steel assemblies erected off-site and transported to their final positions.

Built off-site. Moved as one.
At DFW Airport, large structural steel modules were assembled in a fabrication yard before being transported to the installation site using specialized multi-axle transport equipment.
This construction approach required close alignment between detailing, fabrication, and erection requirements, particularly at connection interfaces and between components assembled into a single module.
