CP12 Airlock Project, Heathrow

Heathrow doesn't stop for construction, and neither did this one. The CP12 Airlock project called for a concrete package delivered to airport tolerances, on an airside programme, with zero room for a workforce that couldn't keep pace.

TAG's brief was labour supply, and we treated it as a delivery commitment, not a staffing exercise. We put a complete, self-sufficient team on site: supervisors, concrete chargehands, shuttering carpenters, concrete finishers, groundworkers, slinger/signallers, traffic marshalls and general operatives, eight trades working as one crew.

That range mattered. Airside work moves through phases fast, formwork one day, pours the next, finishing behind that, and a client shouldn't have to chase down extra trades mid-programme. Having every discipline already on the books meant Dyer & Butler could plan around one supplier instead of several.

The result was a £150,000 package of works delivered without the client having to manage a patchwork of subcontractors, just the concrete going in on programme, to the standard a live international airport demands.
