The approximate area of the new Taxiway is 17,000m2 & the construction will require:
22,000t of Dry Lean Mix Concrete (DLC) pavement road base,
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.

We look forward to fully embracing Gatwick Airport’s “Destination Zero” Programme.
