To accommodate the addition of the A380 aircraft, WW Surveys formed part of the survey services team for the upgrade of the Heathrow Airport runway and taxiways.
To minimise disruption to one of the world’s busiest airports, most of our work was carried out on night shift.
We provided survey support for:
- Resurfacing the runways
- Widening and strengthening the shoulders
- Constructing new taxiways
- Constructing aircraft stands
With the tight level tolerances on aircraft pavements, it was critical for us to provide precise levels for the construction and quality assurance processes.
