DAA Awards Last Three T2 Contract

Construction News Image
The Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) has awarded the last three contracts for its Terminal Two works, valued at around €100m.

The construction work will cover the fit-out, installation of specialist systems and the building of air bridges.

Although the value of each task has not been determined, it is expected all three will cost around €100m.

PJ Hegarty is believed to be undertaking the fit-out of the new airport terminal, following its successful tender to build Pier E earlier this year.

The firm will now be responsible for laying floors, building structural walls and installing internal fittings over a total terminal floor space of 75,000 square meters, in additional to the 24,000 square meter Pier E boarding gate.

The installation of IT and communication systems at the new terminal will be completed by European specialists SITA. This contract will cover the setting up of check-in desks and flight information screens.

The 19 remain air bridges at Pier E will be built by US group FMC Jetway.

All 17 contracts for Terminal Two have now been placed.

The airport's Chief Executive, Declan Collier, said: "The placing of these contracts is another major milestone on the road to delivering T2 and transforming the passenger experience at Dublin airport."

Work on the €395m terminal kicked-off last October, with completion expected for the end of 2009.

T2, as it has been dubbed, will open to the public in April 2010.

Over 700 people currently work on-site, this number is expected to increase to around 2,000 next year when the project enters its most intensive phase.

The new terminal is being designed and built by a project team consisting of Arup, Pascall and Watson, and Mace.
