Two engineering firms, John Sisk & Son, and Lagan Aviation & Infrastructure Ltd have been selected by the daa to undertake its Dublin Airport Airside and Landside civil engineering framework worth over €325 million.
Sisk/Lagan Joint Venture will carry out the work which consists of a number of civil engineering and infrastructure projects.
These include an upgrade the pavement, drainage and electrical systems at Dublin Airport's boarding gate piers, aircraft stands, terminals, aprons, taxiways and the general airfield campus.
Sisk has previously completed major Irish civil engineering projects including, Luas Cross City, Limerick Tunnel and is currently working on the Dunkettle Interchange Upgrade works in Cork.
In 2019, Sisk completed the Boeing Gold Hangar at Gatwick Airport in London.
Lagan Aviation & Infrastructure Limited has completed several recent high-profile airport projects including projects at Ireland West Airport, London City Airport and London Southend Airport.
"We are looking forward to working in partnership with leaders in building and civil engineering that have the people, processes and best practice to support our existing in-house teams," said Ultan McCloskey, Director of Infrastructure at daa.
"Working with Sisk/Lagan Joint Venture (JV) to undertake our Airside and Landside civil engineering works, will ensure we collectively deliver the capital investment programme required right across Dublin Airport," he added.
In 2019, Dublin Airport welcomed a record 32.9 million passengers and had flights to more than 190 destinations in 42 countries operated by almost 50 airlines.
Daa said rebuilding Ireland’s connectivity will play a vital role in helping the Irish economy to recover from the economic shock of the pandemic.
