A new Airport complex has been built for the Shell Petroleum Development Company in Osubi just outside Warri in the South West of Nigeria. The Aircraft expected to land at this air terminal include the Dornier 328, the Dash-8 and Helicopters such as the Sikorsky S-61N.
The building was designed to meet the SPDC's aviation requirements for the next several years.
The 3800 square metre Terminal building accommodates:
- SPDC’s fixed wing services
- SPDC Helicopter services
- Third Party services
- Cafeteria
- Fire Station
- Air Traffic Control Tower
- Aviation Office
Our design response to the requirements of the Client was to create:
- A simple block with all passenger activities on one level.
- A well-defined airside-landside as well as arrival and departure areas.
The use of Brick cavity walls to reduce maintenance requirements
- Reduction of the building weight by using a high strength, low weight steel structure.
The building covers a total area of 3800 square meters, measuring approximately 120 by 32 meters. The departure lounges measure 7.2m by 17m.
Messrs. Julius Berger Plc carried out construction of this building as well as the extensive infrastructure developments. Completion was achieved late in 2000.This is the first major airport development to be embarked on in Nigeria in the last decade. Our firm has subsequently won technical bids from Shell to complete the final phase of the development. This includes complete architectural and engineering for Pilots accommodation, Aircraft Hangar and total infrastructure (road network and services).
Further to the above, we have designed a 3500 square metre Lagos Airport Terminal/Hangar facility for Mobil Producing at the Ikeja Airport. Construction is yet to commence.
- We also carried out the enlargement of the Terminal and Hangar facility for Bristow Helicopters at the Ikeja airport on a design and build basis.
