Atlanta’s international airport is expecting to host more than 13 million passengers per year by 2015. In order to adapt capacities to the increase in passenger volume, construction work on a new international terminal began in the summer of 2008. The terminal is scheduled for completion in April 2012. The new Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal is named after Atlanta’s first African-American mayor. The terminal includes 12 gates and will be linked to international concourse E with its 28 gates via a new public transportation system. In addition, the new terminal will have parking facilities and a new rental car center.

The levels of the new terminal are being built using framework construction, and the beams and girders of the terminal are posttensioned using monostrand tendons. DSI supplied a total of 441,640m (1,448,951ft) of Unbonded DYWIDAG Monostrand Tendons for the following levels:
