Case Study Heathrow Airport

Rapid Goods Screening Facility

Heathrow Airport required a rapidly delivered accommodation facility to support staff operating its Rapid Goods Screening (RGS) operations near Terminal 4. ACS Modular provided a fast-track modular solution, manufactured off-site and installed within an existing warehouse, enabling fully operational workspace and welfare facilities to be delivered within an exceptionally tight programme.

The Challenge

The project required a fully operational accommodation facility to be delivered and occupied within five weeks from initial enquiry.

Key challenges included:

  • Extremely compressed programme
  • Installation within the existing CLC warehouse
  • Coordination across multiple stakeholders
  • Requirement for fully operational facilities upon handover

The ACS Solution

ACS rapidly mobilised its modular manufacturing capability, producing 24 modular units in partnership with manufacturing partners.

The facility included:

  • Offices and operational workspaces
  • Kitchen facilities
  • Toilets including disabled access
  • Shower facilities
  • Internal walling and services pre-installed off-site

The Delivery
The modular units were manufactured and delivered within two weeks, allowing rapid installation within the warehouse environment. Minimal on-site work was required, as the units arrived fully fitted out with only external service connections required.

Outcome

The project successfully delivered a fully operational facility within the aggressive programme.

Key outcomes included:

  • Occupancy achieved within the required five-week timeframe
  • Seamless transition for operational staff
  • Reduced on-site labour and installation time
  • Significant cost and programme efficiencies through modular construction

What Our Clients Say

What I would say is that the early stakeholder engagement was really good and helped to set the project off in the right direction. The team on the ground made the day-to-day challenge of both delivering the programme and maintaining operations possible. All personnel worked as part of the wider Newquay team to provide the best possible outcome.
