Norwich Airport is a small international airport situated 4 miles north of the city of Norwich. Originally an RAF Station, Norwich Airport started offering commercial flights in 1968 with further expansion in the 1970s and 80s, when the main terminal was built. Norwich Airport’s main operations include commercial flights to Europe and a heliport which mainly services off-shore oil rigs and gas platforms. The airport is also a leading centre for aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul.
Daniel Connal Partnership was appointed to provide Quantity Surveying and Employer’s Agent services on this scheme to expand maintenance facilities at the airport with the provision of a 54,000ft² hangar together with a 15,500 ft² workshop area.
