Heathrow Terminal 3 Central Security

About the event

The Heathrow Terminal 3 Central security area project involves the upgrade of HAL’s existing lane equipment to the latest technology of screening machinery as mandated by the department for transport. The project involves a complex reconfiguration of the terminals existing infrastructure to accommodate the new scanning machines, which are almost 1 third larger than the current technology. This involves demolition of a large quantity of plant and comm’s rooms, the decant of staff facilities, removal of escalators and retail spaces and then construction of the replacement facilities including new passenger lifts along with brand new terminal finishes. To add to the complexity this all must be done within a live operational environment whilst maintaining the passenger experience.
