Bristol Airport Redevelopment - Engineering Services

Bristol Airport is one of the UK¡¯s largest airports outside London. To meet customer demand, the airport embarked on a major redevelopment plan to deliver its 2006-2030 Master Plan. The phased development plan is being delivered through 30 separate component projects. We have played a major role on most of these projects including the expansion of the passenger terminal, additional aircraft and passenger car parking, walkways, public transport interchange, fuel storage, office buildings, and a hotel.

Each part of the design and construction process for these projects is complex, necessitating the consideration within the structural design of geotechnical issues around potential solution features and safety requirements for blast resistance. Other considerations for working airside have included security procedures and restrictions, linking the newly constructed elements with the existing live terminal building, and nighttime working to reduce the impact of the works on passengers.

The expansion works have enabled the airport to increase its capacity as it manages more passengers than ever before, while supporting a smooth transition through the airport and its component parts for all travellers. Passengers now have a greater choice of retail options and areas to sit and relax in, as well as an overall increase in destinations and flight options.
