Solutions for Engineering - Airports and Stadiums |

|
Large construction projects such as airports and stadiums require the precision of instruments from Leica Geosystems. Expansion of airports requires rapid yet accurate work processes and minimal interruption to continuing airport operations.

With the capacity to handle 30 million passengers and big enough to fit 50 football pitches over its five floors, Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 (T5) is one of the largest and most ambitious building and engineering projects in Europe. läs mer

(Reporter 50, April 2004) The demanding
tolerances of concrete
slab laying required at
T5 and Heathrow Airport
has called for the use of
the high-tech 3-D
Machine Guidance
Systems of Leica
Geosystems installed on
Gomaco GHP2800 Slip-
Form Pavers. läs mer

“Unique“ is Zürich Airport's new tag-line. An apt choice,describing not only the impressive alpine panorama to which passengers are treated at landing and take-off, but also the remote-controlled technique now in use for constructing new taxiways – truly a world first. Just like the aircraft pilots taking off and landing only a short distance away, machine operator Beat Furrer has his concrete slip-former set to 3D automatic operation. Compared with previous runway construction methods, this technique puts costs on a controlled descent. There are no troublesome guide wires to be found on this site. läs mer

Whoever travels in the evening by the shuttle bus, into the centre of the French metropolis, wipes their eyes in amazement. On the right hand side in the darkness of the Paris suburb of St Denis, what seems to be a giant saucer rises up into the air. Something even Jules Verne had not fantasised! Pointed antennae poke out of the metal surface illuminated in colour. When one approaches a little nearer, the traveller realises that the structure is a stadium, and the antennae are really eighteen towers, each sixty metres high. They support the giant, almost ellipsoid roof of the Stade de France to protect 80,000 to 100,000 spectators from rain, snow, sunshine and wind - some 25 metres before the entrances to the stadium. läs mer
