Heathrow airport takes a further step towards revolutionising the UK\u2019s offsite construction sector as 65 potential Logistics Hubs progress to the next stage<\/h2>\n

Heathrow airport<\/a> will determine which Logistics Hubs are best placed to progress to the final four shortlist next Spring by inviting the sites to expand their bids and complete a pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ).<\/p>\n

The sites will have until 18 January 2019 to showcase why they should be involved in the delivery of Heathrow airport expansion.<\/p>\n

Airport delegates have toured facilities across the country, seeing first-hand the potential to transform the country\u2019s infrastructure and construction industries. Each of the 65 sites offer their own unique elements to the project, from their location, transport links, local skills and supply chain, size, regional expertise and business plans.<\/p>\n

Heathrow will also examine each site\u2019s ability to work with three other locations to deliver the third runway. The expansion project will have four sites either assembling components of the expanded airport or serving as a consolidation centre for these loads before they are transported to Heathrow helping to reduce the project\u2019s impact to local communities.<\/p>\n

Of the potential sites, 50 are existing or functioning sites, many of which are already experienced in delivering major projects. The other 15 sites are either undeveloped or proposed facilities with the potential for additional flexibility and customisation. The variety of sites highlights the opportunities for other projects across the country to explore how offsite construction<\/a> could be beneficial to them.<\/p>\n

This news coincides with the latest stage of the search for Heathrow\u2019s Innovation Partners<\/a>, launched earlier this year, which will see 37 companies submit their business cases explaining how their ideas could potentially help Heathrow deliver expansion efficiently, sustainably and affordably.<\/p>\n

Heathrow\u2019s Executive Director for Expansion, Emma Gilthorpe, said:<\/strong> \u201cThis is an exciting opportunity for us to engage with site promoters that are passionate about creating a lasting legacy. These responses will help us understand which sites will best work for the expansion programme as well as for future construction projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we began this search last year, we were inspired by just how many locations up and down the country were interested in playing a role in delivering the third runway. This shows the great potential there is for offsite construction to revolutionise the way major infrastructure is delivered in the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n
