John Sisk & Son has delivered a super hangar for aircraft manufacturer Boeing at Gatwick Airport, using more than 3,000t of structural steel during the construction.
Sisk won the £88m deal for the GoldCare hangar in 2018. The maintenance facility in the airport’s north west development zone is designed to house some of Boeing’s largest aircraft, including the 777X, due to enter service soon, and some 737 models.
Sisk’s UK south and UK civils arms undertook the project, with the civils division taking on groundworks, hangar slab, pavement-quality apron slab, foam suppression tanks, and hard and soft landscaping. The contractor laid more than 16,000m3 of concrete in the hangar slab and apron slab.
