Balfour Beatty secure £180 million Heathrow Airport works

Infrastructure group Balfour Beatty has secured up to £180 million of works on the maintenance and upgrade of Heathrow Terminals 1, 2 and 4.

The three-year agreement with Heathrow Airport Limited is the first of four new framework contracts for each each section of the airport as part of an overall £1.5 billion investment package.

Balfour will act as programme manager and contractor across individual projects - including structural improvements, upgrade of retail areas and installation of security systems.

The firm have the opportunity to secure a further two-year extension to the deal in 2016, which could be worth a further £70 million.

The works are in addition to Balfour’s involvement in the the £590 million development of Terminal 2B, part of the Terminal 2 complex.

Steve Marshall, Balfour Beatty executive chairman, said: “I am delighted Balfour Beatty has been appointed to Heathrow’s new style of framework contracts. We have worked in partnership with Heathrow for fifteen years and we will continue to bring our leading capabilities in areas such as Building Information Modelling and safety to our work at Terminals 1, 2 and 4; and play our part in helping Heathrow maintain its position as a leading travel hub.”
