Heathrow Airport, Terminal 2B/2AA

Scope of works

Terminal 2‘s satellite building T2B is situated alongside the new main Terminal 2 at Heathrow Airport and serves up to 10 million passengers each year. T2B is one of the largest ever airside projects in Heathrow’s history and delivered 16 new aircraft stands. The building includes a large underground basement which allowed Heathrow to develop an automated baggage handling system. Kilnbridge were appointed by Balfour Beatty to design, supply and install a wide range of fire protection services on this project as well as Terminal 2AA.

The scope of work included installing both fixed and flexible fire penetration seals throughout to accommodate differential movement between the various elements of the building. Kilnbridge installed fire and acoustic barriers to raised access floors, ceiling voids, above glass partitions in public atriums, impact board enclosures to travellators and air sealing to plenum boxes in the PAX tunnels. Kilnbridge also provided bespoke design solutions to site specific technical installation issues as required by the client.
