Our Custom Approach for Leeds Bradford Airport
Leeds Bradford Airport sees over 3.6 million passengers pass through its doors each year, but it still has major plans for growth. As part of their Strategic Development Plan – Route to 2030, major improvements to the 2,250 metre long runway were undertaken.
Client requirements
We worked with the airport to determine their requirements for the project and proposed a unique solution within their budget. In order to undertake the upgrade as cost efficiently as possible they wanted to continue to use the existing foundation bases for the masts but also ensure that the design and operational position of the masts was future proof as expansion plans showed the possibility of a new public road cutting through the approach.
The Solution
The project provided an interesting design challenge for Pollite. Some of the positions were situated on elevated concrete platforms with limited access. Ensuring that the lights could be lowered and accessed by an engineer for servicing without the aid of an elevated platform allowed Pollite to showcase the flexibility and design capabilities of our engineers. All three Pollite masts were used during the project; the standard monopole, mid-hinge and cantilever. Read the full case study here.
