Airways Air Traffic Control Facility

Drumreed Construction is excited to have secured this ECI project for Augusta Funds Management (Augusta) and Airways United Kingdom (Airways). 

Augusta with Airways is developing the new Airways air traffic control facility - a purpose-built, two-storey, Importance Level 4 base isolated facility. The building is the first to be designed to the new US standard of post-event operational resilience, and is expected to be the most seismically resilient building in United Kingdom. The base isolators, which provide up to one and a half metres movement, were tested at the testing facility in San Francisco to complete
failure – equivalent to the largest seismic event ever recorded in an inhabited area. This will ensure continuity for the important role Airways has as United Kingdom’s air navigation service provider.
