Press release
23 December 2024On March 14, the Queen of England officially inaugurated Heathrow Airport’s new Terminal 5, which is due to open to the public on March 27.
VINCI Construction Grands Projets, in a joint venture with its longstanding partner in the United Kingdom, Morgan Est, built all seven railway and road tunnels needed to link the new structure to the four existing terminals.
Valued at €275 million, this ECI (Early Contractor Involvement) contract, which secures involvement from the client, civil-engineering firm, and designer at the design and engineering studies stage, will optimize time and operations management on this project for the BAA (British Airports Authority).
This enormous 15-year undertaking enables a 50 % increase in capacity at what was already the busiest airport in Europe.
