Making way for Auckland Airport’s future through complex enabling works.

Built Environs and McConnell Dowell, in joint venture, delivered the East Airfield Building Relocation Project as part of the preparation for Auckland Airport’s future expansion.

Preparing for what comes next

The project involved relocating and constructing critical operational facilities across the airport precinct, including new aircraft solid and liquid waste processing facilities and Checkpoint Charlie, which manages access between landside and airside areas.

Our team also relocated the Ministry for Primary Industries livestock inspection facility and constructed a new single-span shed.

Delivering in a live airport

Working within an operational international airport required careful planning and coordination across a high-security, high-risk environment.

With multiple stakeholders and airport operations to manage, maintaining programme certainty was critical. The works formed an important part of Auckland Airport’s 30-year Terminal Development Plan, preparing the precinct for its future expansion.
