Balfour Beatty Rail Projects is helping deliver high output performance on the GBP87 million upgrade of an existing 800km rail link between Maitland, north of Sydney, and Brisbane in Australia.
In the period 2008 to 2011, Phases 1 and 2 will be undertaken, comprising the Northern and Mid Sections.
These phases of the project, which will be worth approximately GBP350 million, will include a cut and cover tunnel which links Heathrow East with the Midfield Pier, passenger transfer travellators and cut and cover tunnels for a Track Transit System.
A Remote Passenger Transfer Stand may also form part of the first two phases of the project, which are due for completion in 2012, and would be worth approximately a further GBP78 million.
In Phase 3, which would commence following the completion of the preceding work, a further Southern Section is due to be built at a value of approaching GBP100 million.
Commenting on the award today, Balfour Beatty Chief Executive, Ian Tyler, said: "Having achieved preferred supplier status for BAA's programme of complex building works in the coming period, we are delighted to have secured the planned work on the Midfield Pier project at Heathrow.
"Our performance in delivering the rail systems element of Terminal 5 has been instrumental in the successful on-schedule handover of Terminal 5 to BAA on 17 September".
Balfour Beatty has worked closely with BAA over many years on a number of their key airport developments and, most recently, has been involved in the design, management and delivery of some GBP450 million of work at Heathrow Terminal 5.
The handovers of the Piccadilly Line extension, the Heathrow Express extension, the new Terminal 5 underground system and the inter-terminal track transit system were all achieved on time.
This has provided an excellent platform for the continuation of the relationship into the next generation of BAA's infrastructure investments.
