Pacific Building awarded Airport Investment Contract

Over the next ten years, BAA Scotland has a £500 million capital investment plan rolling out across its three Scottish airports: £300 million of which will be spent at Edinburgh Airport.

Part of the investment of this substantial sum includes the formation of a Consolidated Car Rental Centre (CCRC), the first of its kind in the UK. The CCRC will provide an external car hire facility housing all Rental Partners while releasing significant space within the main terminal building, which up to 9 million passengers pass through each year.

Pacific Building are delighted to have been tasked with the construction of the joinery and ceiling, to a value of around £120k.

Although the facility is situated close to the terminal, the building itself is substantial and its complex shape presents various challenges for the team.

With experience of working in an airport environment, and confident in their forward planning and organisational abilities, Pacific Building are well used to facing challenges head on. Managing Director Brian Gallacher said of the works:

Having recently completed works within Glasgow Airport, the CCRC project will utilise our skills of working in both airside and landside environments. Our experience of working with increased security measures and around passenger traffic flows will allow us to ensure that minimal disruption is caused for both passengers and airport staff.

“We look forward to working on this project alongside BAA’s framework contractors to deliver excellent final results.”
