We have been awarded the contract for the design and construction of a new hangar at Farnborough Airport.
Work on the 175,000 sqft state-of-the-art hangar, the largest infrastructure project at the airport this century, is due to start in the coming weeks while the airport remains fully operational.
Development of the airport will increase the hangar space available to clients. The new hangar provides an additional large span portal building with high-specification concrete floors. As well as associated airport apron works and hangar doors.
In 2018, the airport was the first business aviation airport to be awarded carbon neutral status by Airport Council International Europe. Over the past 10 years, the airport has reduced its controllable emissions by over 70%.
At the start of July, the airport launched its drive to reach net zero in controllable emissions by 2030 or sooner.
We are proud to have been selected as design and build partner for the construction of the new hanger facilities. We will draw on our previous experience of working in a live airport environment, to ensure that construction doesn’t impact the day to day activities at Farnborough Airport. Successful delivery of the project will draw upon our wealth of experience in both the industrial and infrastructure sectors and we look forward to working with the client, design team and our supply chain partners for what is sure to be a flagship development for all involved.
