📋 Tender Overview
Scope:
The new passenger Terminal 5 (T5) is being developed at Changi International Airport in Singapore in order to enhance the airport’s capacity to meet anticipated future growth. The new terminal is set to be one of the world’s biggest airport terminals. Estimated to cost approximately $10bn, the project marks the biggest expansion at Changi Airport to date. It is part of Changi East development, which also includes the development of a three-runway system and network of inter and intra-terminal tunnels. The single integrated terminal will be bigger than the existing terminals at the airport. It will be built on a 1,080ha greenfield site located to the east of the airport. Land preparation works at the Changi East began in 2014 and will continue until 2020. Design and engineering works of the Terminal 5 project are currently underway. Construction on the T5 is expected to begin in the 2020s, with completion scheduled for the 2030s. The T5 will be able to cater up to 50 million passengers a year in the initial phase of operation, increasing the airport’s total annual passenger handling capacity to 135 million. Changi Airport Group (CAG) has announced plans to temporarily close Changi Airport’s second runway from 25 October 2020 to complete work on the airport’s fifth terminal. During the work, the airport will operate from the first and third runways. Work will include construction of the fifth terminal, the Changi East Industrial Zone and supporting facilities. These are expected to complete by the early 2030s. By the mid-2020s, the airport also plans to develop a three-runway system, which includes the construction of 40km of new taxiways and the extension of the existing third runway from 2.75km to 4km. CAG expects a longer taxiing time for flights operating on runway three. The group stated that it ‘will work closely’ with the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, airlines and other stakeholders to establish a smooth transition of operations. The new passenger Terminal 5 (T5) is being developed at Changi Airport in order to enhance the airport’s capacity and meet anticipated future growth. The new terminal is set to be one of the world’s biggest airport terminals. T5 is expected to handle up to 50 million annual passengers in the initial phase of operation, increasing the airport’s total annual passenger handling capacity to 135 million. The project will also add more than 100 additional aircraft parking stands at the existing airport.
