Mott MacDonald has been the lead designer responsible for
development, co-ordination and design of all sub-structures at
Terminal 5. This includes the multilevel basements beneath the main
terminal, concourse A and
B, over and outside roads plus all geotechnical design associated
with the underground tunnels.
Making Terminal 5 accessible is vital to its success. Mott
MacDonald has been instrumental in bringing people to this new
development.
Among the tasks undertaken is the 1.7km long Piccadilly Line
extension, which connects into the existing Piccadilly Line near
the central terminal area. Similarly, the Heathrow Express
Extension takes the Heathrow Express rail link from the existing
rail station at the central terminal area to the new rail station
located beneath the new T5 terminal building.
Collaborative working is a key feature of the rail integration
services that we and our partners have been providing. We’ve
supported rail approvals through the provision of independent
assurance and provided stakeholders and the customer with
confidence in the design.
We successfully completed work on the
Airside Road Tunnel on time, under
budget and with no impact on the airport’s day to day operations.
