Contract awarded to develop three runway system at Changi Airport
A CONTRACT worth SGD1.1 billion (US$788.54 million) has been awarded by Singapore's Changi Airport Group (CAG) to help develop a three-runway system at the airport.
A joint venture formed by Samsung C&T Corporation and Koh Brothers won the contract for the first package of development, which include pavement works, drainage works, security fencing and perimeter roads, mechanical and electrical works. Other contract awards will follow after an open tender process, reported Air Cargo News.
An existing third runway that is currently used by the military will be converted for joint civil-military use, extending the runway to handle larger aircraft, and develop supporting taxiways to connect Runway 3 to the rest of Changi Airport.
The extension of Runway 3, together with the new taxiway system linking to the existing Changi Airport, will total 40 kilometres.
CAG's executive vice president, air hub and development, Yam Kum Weng, was quoted as saying: "In addition to terminal capacity, airfield capacity is a critical determinant of an airport's growth potential. Hence, the operation of a three-runway system is a crucial part of Changi Airport's development plans."
The airport currently operates two runways serving three passenger terminals, with a fourth terminal scheduled to open in 2017.
