8000t of high specification Marshall Asphalt surfacing,
New AGL (Above Ground Lighting) to include F900 spec. pits, ducting & Luminaires,

In addition to agreed daytime working periods, runway possessions will be granted 5 nights per week & all works will be delivered whilst maintaining Gatwick’s demanding flight schedule.
