Following the UK Department of Transport’s first-ever request for competing proposals to expand Heathrow Airport, the Arora Group has made its submission.
Arora has created a dedicated and wholly owned company, Heathrow West Limited, that will work with delivery partner Bechtel, a global leader in airport engineering and construction. Notable examples of Bechtel’s projects include Hamad International Airport, Western Sydney International Airport and longstanding participation in London airports.
Bechtel was recently announced as King Salman International Airport Development Company’s delivery partner for three new terminals at the Riyadh hub and as capital portfolio partner for Perth Airport. As part of Alterra Partners, a consortium with Singapore Changi Airport, Bechtel also served as airport owner and developer managing airport concessions and expansions at London Luton Airport, Jorge Chávez Airport, Juan Santamaría Airport and Curaçao Airport.
Other Heathrow West partners of note include Scott Brownrigg Architects, Doig+Smith, Haskoning and NACO.
