London Heathrow Airport

Vision Survey has had a close relationship with London Heathrow and its various contractors since early 2007. Due to this relationship, we have been able to assist with many of the airport’s upgrades and expansions.

Overview

Throughout the years, countless numbers of surveys have been undertaken and successfully completed to our clients’ specifications.

With Heathrow securing government backing for its proposed expansion plan, the next few years will be crucial as the process moves forward. The prospect of a third runway, along with the expansion and redevelopment of the existing infrastructure will lead to 52 million more passengers and 267,000 more flight movements per year.

Details and Achievements

Vision Survey has played a pivotal role in supporting infrastructure development and operational safety at Heathrow Airport through a series of high-impact projects commissioned by HAL and its partners.

Service Protection and Utility Surveys

We provided comprehensive service protection and utility location services for Heathrow Airport, notably under contracts with Costain, Ferrovial and MACE. Their work included:

  • Setting out and locating buried utilities using advanced equipment such as total stations, GPS, and GPR units.
  • Implementing service protection systems to support safe ground-breaking and drilling operations.
  • Coordinating with statutory authorities and utility providers to ensure compliance with PAS128 standards.


These services were delivered under flexible day and night shifts, with additional CAD and service coordination resources available to maintain consistency and responsiveness.

Topographical and Airside Surveys

Wey contributed to several topographical and PAS128 surveys across airside zones, including Terminal 1 relocations and new airline stand assessments. Their work supported:

  • Accurate mapping of airfield zones for relocation planning.
  • Permit and RAMS preparation for HAL’s CMO system, ensuring safe and compliant survey execution.

 

Collaborative Engagement

We worked closely with HAL’s Delivery Team, Airside Operations, and other stakeholders to:

  • Plan stand closures and survey logistics through consultative meetings.
