AIRPORT CASE STUDIES

Europier, Heathrow AirportThe Heathrow T2B Phase2 Europier Truncation demolition project was awarded to Hughes & Salvidge by Balfour Beatty Construction through competitive tender.

GAL Maintenance Base, Gatwick AirportBritish Airways commissioned Hughes & Salvidge to demolish various hangers and structures. Working in conjunction with the Principal Contractor, MACE, we developed the Health & Safety plan to complete the £1.8 million programme on time and within budget.

British Airports Authority, GatwickThis project was required to allow Main Contractor, Vinci Taylor Woodrow, further redevelopment of the South Terminal. After cladding, insulation and roofing were removed, a 200 tonne crane was employed in a 3-stage lift.

British Airports Authority, Heathrow - Terminal 1, Radar TowerThese works for Balfour Beatty took place adjacent to T1 Victor Pier. The radar unit's steel framed structure was deconstructed and the electronics and rotating antenna saved for utilisation elsewhere.

British Airports Authority, Heathrow - Terminal 4, A380, Stands 405 & 406The demolition works for Taylor Woodrow included soft-strip and removal of link bridges to accommodate new aircraft. It also involved works to the Node buildings and ramped links.

British Airports AuthorityWorking for British Airways close to a live aircraft area, the project included the demolition of post tension concrete beams and asbestos removal. The beams spanned the hangar doorways and, on paper, their removal represented a complicated process.
