Sydney Airport has appointed Multiplex to provide construction planning and delivery expertise as the airport develops its T2-T3 terminal project.
The airport expects the project to deliver new space and 12 swing gates capable of supporting domestic and international operations, which will improve connectivity between terminals and unlocking capacity to help deliver a better passenger experience.
The appointment follows Sydney Airport’s selection of lead consultants for the project Grimshaw for architectural design and engineers Mott MacDonald.
“This is a highly complex project in the heart of a live airport precinct,” Sydney Airport group executive of planning and delivery Paul Willis said. “Multiplex has a strong track record delivering complex infrastructure and major projects, and we look forward to working together to progress a terminal development that supports Sydney Airport’s long-term growth and delivers a better experience for passengers and airlines.”
The T2-T3 terminal project forms part of the airport’s $6 billion capital works program over the next five years and supports the airport’s long-term plan to accommodate forecast growth to 72 million passengers annually by 2045.
“Multiplex is proud to be working with Sydney Airport on the planning of this important project,” Multiplex regional managing director David Ghannoum said. “Our team brings extensive experience delivering large-scale, technically complex projects in operational environments.”
Just last week, the Australian Government approved the airport’s Master Plan 2045. It sets the framework for future investment in terminal capacity, transport connections and passenger facilities to support.
