The redundant Gate Rooms were refurbished to accommodate new ramp services for Male and Female Changing Rooms / First Aid Room / General Office Areas / Hot and Cold Kitchen Rest Rooms and Male & Female Toilets.
The initial work involved:
- A full survey of the Arrivals Corridor, including tracing, identifying and removal of all redundant MEP services that had been untouched since the airport opened in 1987.
- Removal of the existing suspended ceiling and all lighting.
- Paint spray of the concrete soffit and over cladding of existing plasterboard corridor walls with fire rated plasterboard to form a Fire Rated corridor.
- Installation of a new fully accessible metal trough ceiling with LED Lighting and Life Services incorporated within this.
- Removal of existing vinyl floor finishes and installation of a new high-quality vinyl flooring.
- Corridors were redecorated throughout with new stainless-steel skirtings on all walls.
All works were carried out during airport closure on weekdays and after weekend closure. The arrivals corridor had to remain operational at all other times during the refurbishment works with no disruption to LCY or passengers.
