L&T Construction has secured an order worth AED 943.11 million (Rs 1,400 crore) to develop an airside construction project for Abu Dhabi Airports Company. The project is part of a major expansion programme of Abu Dhabi airport. It consists of a midfield terminal building, airside and landside work. The terminal building will serve as a new gateway to Abu Dhabi, L&T said.
L&T will build concrete hard stands for aircraft parking around the terminal. The airside works also include taxi lanes along the apron parking stands and link taxiway to the existing airside infrastructure with a tunnel.
The work on the airside includes concrete pavement, asphalt pavement with markings, drainage, general utilities, airfield ground lighting, gate services such as flood lighting, visual dock guidance system and structural systems for airside tunnel. The project also includes an aircraft fuel hydrant system, storm and portable water distribution line, chilled water distribution, sub-stations and communication networks.
The project, scheduled for completion in 28 months, will commence in April. The airport terminal complex is expected to be commissioned by 2017. L&T said.
