Morgan Sindall has been selected to carry out a £7.3 million refurbishment project at Heathrow Airport.
The contractor will deliver improvements to the Airport's infrastructure, runways and stands as part of a £1.5 billion upgrade programme. Work is expected to be completed by the end of 2017.
The first phase of the scheme has already been carried out, which involved resurfacing the T5 end of the southern runway. The runway was re-surfaced with a new polymer modified bitumen (PMB) asphalt, designed specifically for use in airports due to its high strength and resistance to cracking.
The next phase of works involves replacing underground stone water-drainage pipes directly in front of the BAE line maintenance base.
The contract was awarded to Morgan Sindall through the Q6 Framework and the company is one of four companies appointed on the £1.5bn upgrade programme.
Keith Cannin, Managing Director of aviation at Morgan Sindall, said: "We have a long standing relationship with Heathrow Airport and a track record of successfully delivering this kind of work.
"Our site team understand the pressures and considerations involved working in a live airside environment and always take the necessary measures to mitigate interruptions at the airport."
