Balfour Beatty Secures £350m Heathrow Contract

Balfour Beatty has been selected by BAA to deliver its Midfield Pier project at Heathrow Airport.

Pre-construction work, comprising design, value management and construction programme development, is already under way on a project which will complement the new Heathrow East Terminal and which will be built in three phases. Scheme design was completed at the end of last year, with construction work commencing in the spring of 2008.

Between 2008 and 2011 Phases 1 and 2 will be undertaken, comprising the Northern and Mid Sections. These phases will be worth approximately £350m and will include a cut and cover tunnel which links Heathrow East with the Midfield Pier, passenger transfer travellators and cut and cover tunnels for a Track Transit System.

A Remote Passenger Transfer Stand may also form part of the first two phases of the project, which are due for completion in 2012, and would be worth approximately a further £78m. In Phase 3, which would commence following the completion of the preceding work, a further Southern Section is due to be built at a value of approaching £100m.

Balfour Beatty Chief Executive, Ian Tyler, said: "Having achieved preferred supplier status for BAA's programme of complex building works in the coming period, we are delighted to have secured the planned work on the Midfield Pier project at Heathrow."
