Changi Airport Group names Takenaka new terminal's main contractor
SINGAPORE's Changi Airport Group (CAG) has awarded a S$985-million (US$776 million) contract to Japan's Takenaka Corporation for the construction of Changi Airport's Terminal 4 (T4) to start first quarter of 2014, completion by 2017.
Takenaka Corporation won the contract following tender of five companies submitting proposals. Changi group said the company is a well-established contractor with a strong track record in the construction of several airports in Japan, the Middle East, Africa and Asia, including Changi Airport's Terminal 1.
Takenaka was also involved in the upgrading of Changi Airport's Terminal 2 in 2006 and more recently, the upgrading of Terminal 1 in 2012.
The Osaka-based company will work closely with CAG and the appointed design consortium to refine the design of T4 before construction.
T4 will have 17 contact stands for narrow-body aircraft and four for wide-body aircraft. These stands will come with aerobridges, increasing convenience and accessibility for passengers. Road improvement works to and from the terminal include a new road to funnel outgoing traffic directly from T4 onto the East Coast Parkway.
The development will include the building of a bridge across Airport Boulevard to enable buses and other airside vehicles to move from T4 to remote aircraft stands being built at a land plot south of Terminal 3; and a 68-metre high Ramp Control Tower to oversee and manage aircraft movements in the apron and taxiways around T4 as part of air traffic control operations.
Further construction works include a new passenger terminal building, with a gross floor area of 195,000 square metres and planned capacity of 16 million passenger movements per annum; a multi-storey car park and an open-air car park in front of the terminal building to cater for up to 1,500 car park spaces; and a two-storey holding area for taxis to pick up arrivals.
Members of the appointed architect and design consortium include SAA Architects Pte Ltd, Benoy Ltd, AECOM Singapore Pte Ltd and Beca Carter Hollings & Ferner (SEA) Pte Ltd.
