Mace has been appointed as the delivery partner on three major infrastructure projects on the Heathrow H7 Framework, covering all four terminals, and the Asset Replacement Programme in terminals 3, 4 and 5
Heathrow is investing in significant infrastructure upgrades for passengers as the aviation industry recovers from the impact of Covid-19.
Mace has committed to reducing embodied carbon at the airport by 40% by 2026 against the industry standard baseline. The company will deliver five circular economy innovations a year and commit to 100% ‘clean technology’ by the second quarter of 2023.
Offsite manufacturing will play a large part in the delivery of the terminal projects
Offsite manufacturing and digital project tools will drive greater efficiency in the delivery of the Heathrow H7 Framework projects. Mace has already introduced innovative technology at Heathrow, such as ‘Dave’, the robotic dog, and ‘Construction to Production’ used on the Cargo Tunnel refurbishment project.
Mace has delivered over 400 projects at the airport
Nigel Cole, managing director for Aviation, Mace Construct, said: “We have partnered with Heathrow for over 30 years and have delivered over 400 projects at the airport.
“We are honoured to have been appointed to the H7 Framework, meaning we will continue to support Heathrow over the next half-decade as they rebuild from the pandemic, transition to a carbon neutral aviation hub, and give passengers a world-leading airport service.”
Ensuring journeys at Heathrow remain smooth, safe, and reliable
Helen Elsby, chief solutions officer, Heathrow, added: “We are delighted to continue our partnership with Mace and appoint them as one of our key delivery partners for the next regulatory period. Together, we have already created many of the airport facilities that benefit passengers today.
“This latest partnership will cover new critical and ambitious projects that will ensure journeys remain smooth, safe and reliable for our passengers, while supporting our sustainability goals.”
