New contractor appointed for Heathrow T3 refurbishment
30.07.10
Vinci has replaced Kier as the building contractor on the £10m refurbishment of Heathrow Terminal 3, after failing to deliver work ‘as hoped’, with reports that Kier was not delivering to schedule. The firm started on the refurbishment of the baggage and immigration hall at the terminal last autumn, but it is reported to have failed to live up to expectations. Both Kier and BAA said the decision for the contractor to leave the project was made by mutual consent.
The terminal was opened in 1961, and the work is designed to bring its baggage and immigration facilities up to the same standard as Terminal 5. The work was being carried out while the terminal is still in use. Vinci has now been brought in to complete the project, which is due to be finished in 2011.
