In the early stages of this project our involvement was to supply the ground workers and piling contractors with welding equipment, generators and consumables needed to complete this stage of the build.
As the main building was being erected we supplied generators, electric and diesel powered welding equipment along with mobile lighting towers and site accommodation.
We were able to transport all of the equipment we supplied via the network of vehicles in our fleet ranging from small vans and pick-ups to specialised HGV capable of transporting up to 20 ton payloads with lorry mounted cranes with the ability to load and unload the equipment we supplied.
We are very proud to have been a part of this project and help expand one of the largest airports in the world.

- It now serves up to 35 million passengers a year on over 199.627 flights which is 41% of the airports passengers and 43% of its flights.
- It took 20 years from conception to completion in 2008 when it was opened to the public on 27th March 2008.
Our involvement started at the beginning of the project in 2010. We provided mobile power washers, generators and welders for the piling company that were constructing the new sea wall to create the new land that is now the port. We provided our service from the start of the project through to it opening for business in 2013. Priding ourself on providing the best quality equipment and 24hr service and breakdown to minimize down time to the customers involved in the project.
