Abu Dhabi Airports has selected a consortium of Pascall+Watson, RS&H and Buro Happold from the UK to work on the architectural and engineering framework for its Abu Dhabi International Airport.

The move by the airport is to meet the growing demands of passengers.

The consortium will also carry out Task Order Number 1, the design for the Midfield Terminal Complex landside support facilities.

The scope of works at the complex includes construction of a surface parking facility for 1,600 vehicles, a 3,600m² facility to manage goods and deliveries, a 2,450m² building for security and customs screening, and an airport employee car park for 1,500 vehicles.

As part of the architectural and engineering framework, the consortium has developed a template and identified solutions to meet challenging operational and development demands.

Pascall+Watson aviation director Alan Lamond said: "I am delighted that Pascall+Watson, RS&H and Buro Happold are working together in the UAE. Our unique blend of international experience and local expertise offers our airport clients a fully comprehensive architectural and engineering design service."
