Balfour Beatty said that the APM and BHS tunnels and the associated works form part of the Three Runway System (3RS) project at the airport. It allows travellers to move between the new Third Runway Concourse and the expanded Terminal 2.

Gammon is planning to deploy modular solutions for 75% of the electrical and mechanical works for the tunnels and ensure the project’s safe and efficient delivery.

In a press statement, Balfour Beatty said: “In addition, all offsite activities will be monitored with the use of the real-time technology system, STAMP, throughout the build process to further enhance the quality and production of works, as well as enhancing the safe and efficient delivery of products to site.”
