Lagan Construction International has been selected to deliver a multi-million pound infrastructure project at London City Airport.

Work on the runway overlay and taxiway widening scheme at the Docklands is expected to get underway in May 2016.

Other works include the refurbishment of the existing drainage network, installation of a new pit and duct network along with upgrades to the AGL system to include LED lighting.

In addition, new centre line lighting will be installed.


Darren Grover, COO at London City Airport, said: "The runway overlay is a major project, made more complex by the unique location of our runway surrounded by water on three sides. I look forward to working with Lagan Construction International to deliver the programme and futureproof the only runway actually in London."

Steve Turner, Director of International Operations, Lagan Construction International, added: "Having completed projects on over 50 airports across 5 continents, airport infrastructure works are a core part of our business and our teams are experienced in providing the engineering skills and technologies necessary to deliver both airside and groundside support facilities. We look forward to working collaboratively with our client, London City Airport."

The project is due to be completed in November 2016
