Engineering and project management consultancy, Atkins, has been appointed by daa to work as a consultant for the delivery of a services framework for its buildings at Dublin and Cork airports. As part of the agreement Atkins will work along with daa’s in-house design team on a major programme of work over the next five years with the option to extend this agreement by four years.
“The coming years will see daa invest significantly in our piers and terminals at both Dublin and Cork airports to create a more seamless journey for passengers, enhance security and facilitate capacity growth,” said Ultan McCloskey, Director of Infrastructure at daa.
Atkins has been tasked with delivering a range of services as part of daa’s plan to upgrade terminals and ancillary buildings at both Dublin and Cork airports. This will include improving retail areas, airline lounges and check-in zones, as well as cargo facilities across the Dublin Airport site, both landside and airside.
McCloskey added: “Atkins’ strong global aviation experience of implementing innovative technological solutions at airports around the world, will complement daa’s in-house technical capabilities, enabling us to meet the infrastructure challenges that lie ahead.”
The new framework win follows the recent collaboration between daa, Colas and Atkins on Cork Airport’s main runway rehabilitation which was delivered on time and to budget.
