Terminal 2 houses check-in and arrivals on the first floor and departures on the second floor. It handles 8.5 million passengers annually, with 30 airlines operating through this terminal. Terminal 2 was the oldest terminal at Heathrow Airport and stands on an area of 74,601 square metres. The terminal is scheduled to be demolished in 2013 to make way for the second phase of Terminal 2. The majority of domestic flights arrive and depart from Terminal 1.

Terminal 1 has arrivals from the UK and Ireland on the first floor and other countries on the ground floor.

It now covers an area of 49,654 square metres, with added space in the departure lounge. Terminal 1 underwent a major refurbishment in 2005 with the opening of the new eastern extension. It handled 69.4 million passengers and 1.48 million tons of cargo in 2011.” “London Heathrow International Airport is one of the busiest airports in Europe. Terminals 1-4 at London Heathrow International Airport Long-stay parking is also available at all the terminals of the airport. With valet parking, travellers can have a chauffeur park their cars in a secure place and return to them when they return. Heathrow business parking provides facilities for three to four days. Short stay parking is available for up to five hours. Heathrow International Airport provides four categories of parking. Car parking facilities at the international airport A door-to-door London hotel bus service is also available from all terminals. There are bus services available from the airport to various parts of the UK. Another train, Heathrow Connect, serves Central London, West London and the airport. London Underground’s Piccadilly line also serves the airport.

Heathrow Airport has regular train services between London’s Paddington station and Heathrow Terminal 5 station or Heathrow Central station. Road and rail infrastructure links from London and the UK New infrared camera systems have been installed on two runways to enhance the runway safety. The two asphalt-surfaced runways are aligned in east-west directions. Runway details and new infrared camera systems at the airport One of the best features of ATC*ISS is the high ratio of COTS (commercial off the shelf) components, because this means a high up-time, a low failure rate, modest maintenance costs and overall systems reliability and safety. The tower is equipped with Terma’s information support system, ATC*ISS tower. The third runway masterplan will increase capacity on the M25 by providing seven lanes in each direction and will also enhance flood storage capacity for the Colne Valley.The cylindrical screen is 10m in diameter and combines ten powerful projectors, with edge matching and blending to give a continuous field of view.We identified an innovative Terminal 6 and Terminal 5 solution which enabled the terminals to share a single railway station, provided a bypass taxiway system to eliminate the main airfield bottleneck and enabled the creation 16 contact gates along the face of Terminal 6.We proposed a reduction in runway separation which has reduced the number of homes impacted by 20%, enabled a Grade I and a Grade II* listed building to be retained and saved the client approximately £1B.Our airport team developed the concept of end-around-taxiways to enhance runway capacity.

The Commission is due to make a final recommendation on the preferred airport capacity solution by August 2015. The 3R north west masterplan was one of three schemes shortlisted by the Airports Commission, which we developed into scheme design and submitted for final evaluation. The masterplanning process has involved identifying a range of three different runway options for Heathrow Airport and to come up with a shortlist of feasible options which were then submitted to the Airports Commission for assessment. We've also supported HAL in their engagement with the UK Government Airports Commission, chaired by Sir Howard Davies, as well as in their consultation with local communities. We were appointed by HAL to lead the development of the third runway masterplan, define the associated surface access strategy and support the environmental assessment of the scheme.Īs part of the work, our team has integrated work from other disciplines such as airspace, town and country planning, legal, business case and programme, in order to form a coherent plan.
