BOVIS Lend Lease is set to complete the upgrade and expansion of Sydney Airport’s International Terminal.
Bovis Lend Lease was appointed managing contractor by Sydney Airport Corporation Ltd in October 2007 and work commenced on the project in December that year is set to be complete on schedule. The expansion is part of a $500 million investment in the International Terminal.
“We have a strong history of projects at Sydney Airport, having previously completed the $250 million Qantas Domestic Terminal and the $500 million Sydney Airport 2000 Project for the Olympics, and we are proud to have now completed another vital component of Australia’s busiest airport,”
Bovis Lend Lease Australia CEO Tony Costantino said.
Completed in four stages, the expansion and upgrade of Sydney International Terminal involved construction of a suspended 7,300 sqm floor slab housing the future baggage handling system, new retail and dining facilities (on the existing departures level) as well as the capacity to provide future air lounges.
The project also involved the consolidation of a new central immigration and security area for more efficient passenger flows, the refurbishment of the existing 30,000 sqm departures level to provide upgraded gate lounges and improved facilities such as seating and waiting areas. Additionally, the landside retail facilities including duty free, specialty retail and food outlets have been redeveloped. There are now more than 100 retailers in the International Terminal.
