Buckingham Group Contracting Ltd, in partnership with Designers RPS, is awarded the 7mil+ GBP Design and Build Contract for the new London Southend Airport Terminal Building.Successful multi-disciplinary contractor Buckingham Group Contracting, in partnership with Designers RPS, is awarded the £7m + Design and Build Contract for the new London Southend Airport Terminal Building for Stobart Group. Buckingham Group Contracting Ltd, in partnership with Designers RPS, has won the Design and Build Contract for the construction of a new passenger terminal building, aircraft apron and associated airside road access at London Southend Airport for Stobart Group. The construction phase of the works is anticipated to be circa 46 weeks, with opening scheduled for October 2011- in plenty of time for the London 2012 Olympic Games- something the Airport is hoping to benefit from given its proximity to the Olympic site.
The new state-of-the-art Terminal Building, just one aspect of the ‘London Southend Airport Regeneration Project’ is designed to provide passengers with a ‘hassle free’ experience, transforming London Southend Airport into a modern and thriving local regional airport.
The completed facility will ensure the best possible passenger experience through minimum walking distances and a maximum wait time of 5 minutes at security. Other considerations include clarity and simplicity, with easy wayfinding and sense of space, coupled with high levels of passenger comfort.
The team is looking forward to working in partnership with Stobart Group to ensure that the new Terminal is completed on time and within budget, to support aims of a fully functioning regional airport by 2012". Architectural Director for the scheme, RPS’ Kester Purslow adds: “We’ve concentrated on the Airport’s customers for this gateway project. Our focus has been modern crisp detailing with light airy public concourse areas, with due regard for operational requirements and standards. Buildability and future flexibility to cope with the ever-changing needs of a modern airport have been key to the scheme. We’ve worked closely with Buckingham Group and the Stobart team to deliver a high quality Terminal which offers exceptional value for money and a great passenger experience". |
