Lisbon Airport – New Busgate

The following work has been carried out: 

- Architecture: masonry, stonework, insulation and waterproofing, ceiling, wall and floor coverings, skirting boards, openings, sanitary equipment, demolition, interior architecture, extension of the sanitary facilities and new smoking room, remodelling of boarding gates 14 to 23 on the north pier. 

- Electrical, telecommunications and electronic installations; 

- Water, sewage and drainage; 

- Mechanical installations; 

- Integrated security; 

- East road: Demolitions, Earthworks, Paving and Gatehouse. 

The expansion was necessary to accommodate operational and commercial growth, considering traffic growth forecasts and congestion effects on important terminal subsystems. 

The project also involved the remodelling/expansion of the areas where the baggage handling systems (BHS) are implemented, which were insufficient and limiting from an operational perspective at Lisbon Airport.
