Aviation Projects

The re-development of Oman's largest airport will result in one of the worlds most ultra-modern. The project comprises some 70 buildings apart from the terminal, including a control tower, an air traffic management centre, and a cargo terminal capable of 200,000 tons of freight annually. The 290,000m2 passenger terminal building, a grandiose structure incorporating a blend of modern international class airport design elements and Omani traditional motifs, stands between two parallel runways (one new / one existing) and has parking capacity for 6,000 cars. Consisting of departures, arrivals, transfers and duty free shopping arcades, restaurants, cafes, elegant lounges, it will boast 24-28 boarding air bridges, all of which are capable of handling new and existing code C-F aircraft. A separate VIP building to be used by high ranking dignitaries is located next to the terminal and an 80 bed airside hotel for transfer passengers is also envisaged. When complete, this first phase of a possible four will have the capacity to handle 12 million passengers per annum.

The Emirates Engineering Centre is a specialised aviation maintenance facility designed and built to facilitate Emirates Airlines' existing fleet as well as their new order of Airbus A 380 Super-Jumbos. It is one of the largest aviation maintenance centres in the world, and certainly the most high-tech. The project covers an area of 55 hectares on the north side of Dubai International Airport and is valued in excess of AED 1.3 billion. The hangars dimensions ensure that it can accommodate all types of wide-bodied passenger jets, including the Airbus A380. The Centre has 7 fully air conditioned hangars for heavy and light maintenance, each 110m x 105m, plus 1 dedicated paint hangar - in total covering more than nine hectares in size.

From 2004 to 2007 Hurley Consulting were employed as Contracts Managers to provide specialist advice on the administration of the numerous contracts on the projects, as well as any contractor's claims for cost and extensions of time. Each hangar has a mezzanine docking system for access for aircraft, while three hangars are equipped with full fuselage docking systems designed for heavy maintenance. They also have the largest single free-spanning roof structures in the Middle East. In addition to its hangars, the development comprises an administration building with multi-storey car park, a mosque, a central power plant (with generators, centrifugal chillers and fire protection systems) and various roads, taxiways and aprons, as well as an engine run-up.
