Heathrow Airport - delivering temporary works at Britain's busiest airport. ✈️
Following the discovery of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) within roof slabs at Heathrow Airport, our team developed a bespoke temporary works solution to support the safe removal of the affected elements. With strict height restrictions preventing crane-assisted removal, we designed an alternative approach that enabled works to be carried out safely while keeping the lower levels of the buildings operational.
Our scope included the design of:
✔️ A bespoke crash deck
✔️ Independent scaffolding
✔️ Safe access and egress arrangements for the lower storey
This project demonstrates how innovative temporary works design can overcome challenging site constraints, prioritising safety while minimising disruption to one of the UK's busiest transport hubs.
