en.Wedoany.com Reported - London Gatwick Airport has signed two framework agreements with infrastructure solutions company Costain, covering the fields of civil engineering and construction.

These two framework agreements aim to upgrade and modernize airport infrastructure through a series of capital projects, in order to cope with growing passenger traffic and enhance operational resilience. Under the agreements, Costain will be responsible for delivering multiple design and construction projects on both the airside and landside over a four-year period (with a two-year extension option).

In a statement, Costain noted that it will leverage its expertise in sustainable infrastructure solutions to assist Gatwick Airport in advancing its major capital investment plan, with the goal of improving operational efficiency, capacity, sustainability, and overall resilience. Securing this contract further strengthens Costain's presence in the aviation sector—the company is currently implementing multiple asset renewal projects and infrastructure services for the UK's three largest airport operators.

Costain has previously been a key delivery partner for major infrastructure projects at Gatwick Airport, most notably leading the £249 million redevelopment of the airport's railway station.

Jonathan Willcock, Managing Director of Costain's Transportation business, stated that enhancing the capacity and passenger experience at UK airports helps unlock regional and national economic growth, promote trade, and strengthen the UK's position as a major international transport hub. He further noted that the company is working closely with Gatwick Airport and its supply chain partners to implement necessary infrastructure upgrades to improve airport operations, ultimately contributing to the UK's overall prosperity.

In addition to the Gatwick Airport project, Costain is also building new baggage system infrastructure at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 2, while designing key civil engineering upgrades for Manchester Airports Group at Manchester, London Stansted, and East Midlands airports.
