Up, up and away

Up, up and away

1. Airport constructions

   • They imply tricky building techniques
     • Need to interface with other transport links

2. Risk of running the project

   • T5 Agreement
     • The suppliers rely on glitches and delays to bump up the cost.
       • In the same way it increases the time to carry out the project
   • The site has a limited and complicated physical structure
     • To solve it, they have done large investment in computing and training
   • It's unusual for BAA to run the project itself
     • Outsourcing to another group represented greater cost than doing it on their own

3. Tony Douglas

   • He took over T5 (Terminal 5)
     • Big financial risks linked to such a huge project
       • This company depended on this project to keep afloat on the market

4. Heathrow airport's fifth terminal

   • Aimed to cater for 30M passengers/year

5. New departures

   • there are always debates about who is to blame for negligence
     • incentives for good work
   • Priority of obtaining permission to build an additional runway at London's third airport
     • For this it will be used in spin-off

6. Reduce risks

   • It is sought that engineers and suppliers work together
     • achieve terminal the project on time and with the right budge
   • They blame each other for mistakes
