Airport Authority Hong Kong has awarded the four-year contract, which covers expansion of the main Terminal 2 building, mechanical and electrical works and construction of interconnecting bridges as well as associated viaducts and roads.
The expansion of the terminal forms part of the airport鈥檚 鈥楾hree-runway System鈥� project, which on completion will allow for both arrivals and departures from one terminal and increase overall passenger capacity.
Balfour Beatty Group Chief Executive Leo Quinn said: 鈥淭his award marks Gammon鈥檚 second significant contract for the Airport Authority Hong Kong this year and the largest single contract ever awarded to Gammon.
鈥淭hrough leveraging wide-ranging engineering expertise and offsite and modular construction approaches, Gammon has secured a material share of the Hong Kong market which continues to look favourable with significant infrastructure opportunities ahead.鈥�
Balfour Beatty鈥檚 joint venture partner in Gammon is Asian trading and manufacturing group Jardine Matheson. Earlier this year, Gammon secured the HK$7.2bn tunnel contract at Hong Kong International Airport to deliver tunnels and associated works for an automatic people mover and baggage handling system on behalf of Airport Authority Hong Kong.
