BAM Wins £85m Contract
BAM Nuttall has won an £85 million contract to install a new concrete deck extension at London City Airport.
The 75,000 m2 deck forms the first part of the Airport's £480m Development Programme and works will get underway this Spring.
BAM will extend the Airport's concrete deck out over the King George V Dock, supported by over 1,000 concrete piles with steel casings – each approximately 20-metres in length. Additional work includes the partial demolition of the King George V Dock wall to enable tying in of the new deck, construction of a partly submerged service trough and drainage channels, and approximately 50 land based piles adjacent to the airport entrance.
Overall, the new deck will support new infrastructure being developed at the Airport including aircraft stands, a parallel taxiway and a new passenger terminal extension.
The project will be carried out once the unexploded ordnance (UXO) survey is complete, which recently yielded the discovery of 500kg Second World War device that was safely disposed of by the Royal Navy. Completion of the deck is expected in early 2020.
Peter Adams, Chief Development Officer at London City Airport, said: "The contract is the first big step forward in the airport's development programme, essentially creating new land that will provide the base upon which we will build the majority of the transformational infrastructure, including the extended terminal building and additional aircraft stands.
"BAM has proven expertise and experience in these techniques and we are really pleased they are on board to deliver this project alongside the overall delivery partner, Bechtel."
Martin Bellamy, BAM Nuttall Executive Director, said: "We are delighted that BAM have been selected to deliver such a major marine civil engineering project that draws on our relevant expertise and experience. This scheme will play a significant part in the overall Airport Development Programme and will support the planned infrastructure such as the aircraft stands and new world class passenger terminal extension."
