Hey everyone!! I had an amazing trip to Istanbul last month and I've got to tell you about this amazing bridge I saw – the Bosphorus Bridge! It's this massive suspension bridge that links Europe and Asia, and it's seriously mind-blowing! 🌉 Built back in the 1970s, I was super curious to learn more about how they managed to pull it off with the limited technology they had. They used cantilever method to built the bridge outward from the towers, meeting in the middle, making it a pierless bridge, which seems almost magical when you see it in person. The impact of the Bosphorus Bridge has been incredible – it's boosted transportation, trade, and the overall economy for both continents. It's so awesome to see how much of a difference it's made for the people living there. Hats off 👏 to the amazing engineers, architects, and skilled labourers who made this ambitious project happen! despite the challenges faced with limited technologies which inspired me to appreciate this engineering marvel. Being a Quantity Surveyor myself, I'm constantly reminded of how important our role is in these types of projects. Staying curious and always looking for innovative ways to manage resources can help turn dreams into reality. And the Bosphorus Bridge is a perfect example of that! So, have you ever been inspired by incredible engineering feats like this? I'd love to hear your stories and the ways they've sparked your curiosity. Share your experiences !! #civilengineeringmarvel #quantitysurveying #constructiontechnology #bosphorousbridge #istanbul

Long Thanh Airport runway to be completed 3 months ahead of schedule On March 14th, at the construction site of Long Thanh International Airport (LTIA), Vietnam Airport Corporation (ACV) and a consortium of contractors launched a competition to complete the construction and technical operation of the airport’s runway before April 30th, 2025. ACV and consortium of contractors sign competition for runway construction completion Initiated simultaneously with the passenger terminal construction on August 31st, 2023, package 4.6 “Construction, Installation of Equipment and Preparation of Construction Design for Runway, Taxiway, Apron and Ancillary Facilities” is a crucial part directly related to the aviation operations of the airport. Located at Long Thanh International Airport, the runway is 4,000m long, 70m wide, and capable of accommodating the most advanced aircraft. It is a prerequisite for the operation of Long Thanh International Airport to ensure safe flight operations. To implement the Prime Minister’s directions during the site inspection immediately after the Lunar New Year, ACV directed the Project Management Board to collaborate with contractors to study and apply advanced construction technologies to shorten the schedule while ensuring the quality, especially labor safety at the construction site. Workers constructing the concrete runway ACV directed the consortium of contractors to mobilize more than 350 machinery and equipment as well as nearly 1,500 engineers and workers, making the most of the favorable weather conditions and resolutely implementing the construction. So far, the runway construction has progressed closely to the schedule, basically completing the land and sand foundation, with more than 70% of crushed stone aggregate layer finished. Currently, they are carrying out the construction of the general concrete layer to complete the runway and perform calibration flights before April 30th, 2025. After research and consultation with project participants, ACV and the consortium of contractors launched a competition to shorten the construction schedule by 3 months compared to the contract schedule. At the same time, ensuring 10 million safe working hours, construction quality on the construction site, with the goal of completing the construction and technical operation of Long Thanh International Airport’s runway before April 30th, 2025 in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Liberation Day, Reunification Day (April 30th, 1975 – April 30th, 2025) of the Southern region. The overall view of the construction site for the runway At the launching ceremony, Mr. Vu The Phiet – General Director of ACV – requested the consortium of contractors to continue to uphold their sense of responsibility, make more efforts, unite and stand side by side to fulfill the committed goals and complete the project’s construction on schedule to ensure quality and aesthetics, thereby creating motivation to bring the whole project ...

All sectors are cyclical, so which are on the rise for construction? Well, one area which is seeing growth is construction projects at UK airports. With flight activity now back to 94% of pre-pandemic levels, the UK currently loses an estimated £1.2 billion a year because of its shortfall in airport capacity. Airport expansion, upgrades and infrastructure projects over the coming years will be key to ensuring the UK remains an attractive place to do business and to visit, according to Alasdair Reisner, Chief Executive of the Civil Engineering Contractors Association. And it's not just London. Regional airports will be increasing capacity, with major projects already underway in Bristol, Manchester and Southampton among others. #construction #constructionindustry #airportdevelopment #growth

#Airport Planning & #Airport Project Management! #Doha Hamad International Airport Construction-Privileged to be a part of this iconic project in the State of Qatar! #airportdevelopment #airportoperations #airportdesign #Airport planning involves the strategic and logistical considerations required for the development and operation of an airport. This includes the design and layout of terminals, runways, and aprons, as well as the planning of navigation systems and facilities for aircraft and passengers. Factors such as passenger capacity, aircraft movements, safety regulations, and environmental considerations need to be taken into account. Other considerations may include the provision of retail and dining facilities, ground transportation options, air traffic control systems, and emergency response capabilities. Overall, airport planning aims to create a safe, efficient, and comfortable environment for travelers while meeting the needs of the aviation industry.!" "#Airport planning involves the process of designing and developing an airport to efficiently accommodate aircraft operations and passenger services. It includes various aspects such as determining the airport location, selecting the appropriate airport layout, designing runways and taxiways, planning for terminal facilities, developing parking and ground transportation facilities, and ensuring compliance with safety and security regulations. The final output for airport planning can include detailed plans, blueprints, and feasibility studies for the construction and operation of the airport"

Heathrow has kickstarted a ground-breaking new trial to explore the viability of lower carbon concrete for runways and taxiways. The trial has been designed to test the concrete’s durability and longevity in a true-to-life airport setting and is one of the first of its kind at any airport in the world. It is the first of a number being planned that will test and trial other low carbon concrete materials on the market. It is intended that the outcomes of these trials can be used to reduce embedded carbon in a number of projects being delivered by Ferrovial Construction and Dyer & Butler at Heathrow. The project, led by Jacobs and implemented by Cemex and Ecocem will see four different applications trialled in a pouring site located close to the control tower. These will replicate use in a range of typical airport infrastructure applications, including airfield pavements, encompassing runways and taxiways as well as reinforced pit cover slabs and other ancillary concrete types. Initially two low carbon solutions will be tested: a Pavement Quality Concrete (PQC) equivalent mix containing 50% Ecocem GGBS, and Ecocem Ultra – a lower carbon binder. Nigel Milton, chief of staff and carbon at Heathrow said: “Heathrow is once again serving as a testbed for ground-breaking technologies, demonstrating global leadership with regards to sustainable travel. Richard Moore, Europe aviation engineering lead at Jacobs said: “This is the culmination of four years of research and planning towards these initial trials. “Testing the materials in a range of airport infrastructure applications, not just runway and taxiway pavements, allows us to maximise the opportunity to reduce embedded carbon in a wide variety of concrete types. “Building on the success of today, we look forward to upscaling to usage in airfield projects being delivered by Ferrovial Construction, Dyer & Butler and other major programme partners across the airport.” [Construction Enquirer] #heathrow #aviation #infrastructure #projects #lowcarbonconcrete

NEW APPROACH FOR BIG CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IN ICELAND Isavia (national airport & air navigation service provider in Iceland) is considering a new approach when it comes to implementing the vision outlined in its "Major Development Plan" for Keflavik airport, and is seeking input from the market. According to them: "There are big projects ahead that will completely transform the airport, not only will more passengers be able to go through the airport, but the goal is to make the passenger experience better for everyone, from arrival to departure". In the next 12 years, the aim is to carry out 3 major projects- a connecting building between the North and South Terminals, named SLN21 (estimated at 22,000m²), the new East Pier (estimated at 70,000m²) and then the new North Terminal (estimated at 30,000m²). The total estimated cost of these projects is about €1 billion. For large projects, the traditional way is to complete the design and then tender the construction of the project to contractors, who then procure the supply-chain eg. specialist systems, building materials and other inputs. However, the size of the project that Isavia is facing, offers to reverse this approach and use the so-called Smart Procurement methodology. Isavia, with the help of consultants from the British company Mace, will first procure the supply chain, thereby securing an international supply chain under a series of integrated long-term frameworks, to work with the current designers at an earlier stage. The goal is to involve the specialist manufacturers in the design process. That makes it possible to make better use of the manufacturer's expertise to achieve greater cost and schedule certainty. The supply chain suppliers under these frameworks will also be responsible for the installation of the systems and components, teaming up with local Icelandic contractors to secure the required labour and specialist local knowledge. They will select their own partners and can also make use of the Steering Contractor who will coordinate the works between suppliers. TO BE CONTINUED .....................
