Griffiths Farrans JV has been awarded a contract to deliver a transformational public transport hub as part of Bristol Airport’s largest capital project ever.
The £60m investment will create a public transport interchange hub and multi-storey car park to enhance services and accessibility for customers arriving or departing from Bristol Airport.
Enabling works started in May to divert services and work has now begun to construct a new access ramp to the existing remaining car parks.
The project forms part of Bristol Airport’s overall multi-million-pound transformational development plan enabling 12 million passengers a year to use the Airport. It will provide a significantly enlarged public transport interchange hub, improved internal road system and an additional multi-storey car park providing customer enhancements such as waiting rooms and rest facilities.
The public transport interchange hub will provide access for coaches, buses and other forms of public transport on the top level of the multi-storey car park. The public transport interchange hub will more than double the number of bus/coach bays to 16 bays, enabling the Airport to be one of the region’s largest bus/coach interchanges.
The top level of the car park will also provide a dedicated Drop Off and Pick-up location for family, friends or taxis and a new gateway for all customers, with ease of access to the terminal.
The multi-storey car park will provide over 2000 spaces; state of the art technology; blue badge parking; and will adjoin the existing multi-storey car park. The terminal will be accessed via a glazed pedestrian bridge link on the same level.
We are on site with this exciting project which will play a significant role in the step change of Bristol Airport as it elevates its offering to support new air links and increase inbound tourism. The vision for the future is one with sustainability, safety and enhanced customer experiences at the heart of it. Griffiths Farrans JV has extensive experience within the aviation sector providing intelligent construction and civil engineering solutions across the UK.
Throughout this project we will be engaging on a calendar of social value activities which will maximise our use of local supply chain, create apprenticeships and employment opportunities as well as engage with colleges, schools and the voluntary and community sector to leave a positive lasting legacy in the area.
