Heathrow project nears completion
Scaffolding contractor, XERVON Palmers has nearly completed a multi-million contract providing bespoke scaffolding and access services for Heathrow Airport’s new Terminal 2 – aka ‘The Queen’s Terminal.’
|
The work for construction firm, Balfour Beatty – began in January 2012 and centred around providing scaffolding services and access solutions for the construction of the new T2B building in three phases, making way for the construction of a new, 600m long and 35m wide, split-level pier (T2B) and the proposed Heathrow East Terminal (HET). Some of the work has been involved in creating scaffolding underground, to assist in the construction of connecting tunnels for rail services.
Working on such a busy, sensitive site XERVON Palmers has had to overcome a number of challenges including not interrupting sight lines for the Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower or disturbing RADAR signals while working at height, gaining clearance of advanced security systems and organising BAA passes for all of the operatives (a six month process). |
