Lagan flies away with £9m trio of airport deals

Lagan has picked-up a trio of UK airport improvement jobs worth £9 million.

The three contracts will be carried out at Heathrow’s T5, Bournemouth International Airport and at Newquay in Cornwall where an existing military airfield is being converted into a new commercial airport.

At Heathrow Lagan has been commissioned by main contractor Ferrovial Agroman to deliver the £1.2 million T5C Phase 2, stands 561 and 562, for BAA.

Work involves initial site establishment, dig out and disposal of a temporary road to the north of stand 561, installation of a range of services and the placement of Wet Lean and Pavement Quality Concrete. The project is due for completion in November.

At Newquay Lagan will undertake a series of transition works, runway remedials and taxiway widening valued at £4.5 million for main contractor Mansell Construction Services on behalf of Cornwall County Council.

The existing military runway will be resurfaced to commercial airport standards, with the work taking place during night time possessions.

At Bournemouth Airport the contractor will deliver £3.3 million worth of airside works for Warings Group for the construction of new aircraft stands on both the east and west apron and a taxiway overlay.

David Jeffs, managing director of Lagan Construction said: “Our international expertise and reputation in the airports sector is creating many opportunities in the UK and we look forward to continuing to establish our presence in this key market.”
