The Project:

Since joining Heathrow's framework in 2014, Ferrovial Construction has delivered a variety of airside and landside projects across the whole airport. For example, we have delivered new taxiways and rehabilitated existing taxiways and the southern runway. We have also redeveloped sterile and grass areas and replaced critical assets, such as fire main, fuel main, and HV ducts. We are currently working alongside Heathrow to rehabilitate assets with expired design lives and plan for a future runway resurfacing project. We are constantly designing and planning our works around critical assets and engaging with different key stakeholders to deliver Heathrow value for money.
