The pair both have a 27% equity stake in the scheme which is Balfour鈥檚 first major public private partnership in the US civils infrastructure market.
The airport is the second busiest in the US, behind Hartsfield鈥揓ackson Atlanta International Airport.
Balfour Beatty is due to report its 2017 results on 14 March.
