planning

Conversant in airport planning and international air transport regulators’ criteria, we generate plans that provide decision-makers with clear recommendations throughout different project phases. Based upon a collection of quality data, our work ranges from preparing national and regional comprehensive transport plans to layouts of individual airport networks/systems.

design

We design all facilities of an airport - from runway and taxiways; concourses and terminals; to ancillary complexes, security and baggage systems, and transportation connections. From concept through preliminary and final design to the production of tender drawings - we take on all stages of the design process in an airport’s transport-related components and structures.

management

We provide management services for the most demanding projects and environments, keeping delivery on schedule and within budget. Having worked in over 100 countries, we are conversant with construction standards and contracts around the globe.

airside

We’ve worked on nearly every type of airfield, from densely urbanized sites to offshore reclaimed areas. With our systematic application of sound engineering practice, we assure that the location, the orientation and the sizing of all airside facilities are optimized and result in efficient traffic movements.

landside

The landside is a passengers’ first or last contact with an airport and we strive to ensure they arrive and depart with a favourable impression. We carefully design attractive and functional landside facilities that safely and efficiently direct passenger and goods’ movement through an airport.

terminals

To a passenger, a terminal is the essence and character of an airport. For each airport, we develop a distinctive architectural design that both reflects the global nature of travel and draws inspiration from local culture. Infused with inventive engineering solutions, our structures are efficient, secure and aesthetically pleasing public spaces designed to keep pace with today's demanding travellers, while ensuring efficient flow of passengers and users throughout. Our services cover all aspects of terminal development.

cargo

With the globalization of trade, cargo traffic is an increasingly important component of international transport. Consequently, our designs are based on analysis of socio-economic trends, projections of long-term freight traffic growth, and feature some of the largest cargo facilities in the world. Interconnected with road, rail and sea modes of transport whenever feasible, our past commissions include cargo villages for regional and international airports.

support

The effective operation of a facility demands that an aircraft be serviced in a safe, timely manner and flight schedules are maintained. We provide planning and design services of aircraft support systems for public and private sector clients at civil and military establishments around the world, with particular experience in inspecting, appraising and refurbishing fuel systems while maintaining essential operations. Services are provided for all types of facilities.
