Leighton Asia wins building project at HK airport

The contract for Airport Authority Hong Kong will bring revenue of approximately AU$278m (£169m) to Leighton Asia, which is part of Cimic Group construction company CPB Contractors.

The project will expand the existing Terminal 1 at HKIA, including the construction of a seven-storey reinforced concrete structure with steel truss roof with associated new check-in counters, baggage reclaim carousels, departure security screening channels, and departure immigration counters.

Works on the Carpark 4 facilities expansion include the delivery of an 11-storey reinforced concrete structure connecting to the existing Carpark 4 and T1 arrivals ramp.

CPB Contractors and Leighton Asia managing director Román Garrido said: “We are committed to working with our client to achieve the project’s planned operational, social and economic benefits through innovative and cost-effective solutions.”

Construction is scheduled to begin straightaway and be completed in 2019.
