An MSCP which will accommodate up to 2000 vehicles upon completion

This multistorey car park will consist of four storeys and feature a ground-level drop-off zone to provide passenger drop-off, collection, and parking options.

BKHS will deliver 2400 tonnes of structural steelwork from our state-of-the-art steel fabrication facility. Our Design team will also be responsible for the steel-to-steel connection design, which has been innovatively developed to suit our manufacturing facility by our expert team of Structural Engineers.

Our Design Team have worked collaboratively with Mason Navarro Pledge Structural Engineers for the rebuild of the new four-storey car park project, with construction due to start early this year. Our scope includes the connection design for the 2400 tonnes of structural steelwork as well as ensuring the temporary stability throughout the installation works.

Lee Roberts, BKHS Pre-Construction Director:

“We are delighted to take part in the journey to rebuild London Luton Airport Car Park, an MSCP which will accommodate up to 2000 vehicles upon completion. BKHS are proud to have been selected to support BAM with the delivery of the structural steelwork package.

Bringing a holistic approach to the project - including the delivery of multiple key packages to aid with project coordination, including the PCC Cores, Metal Decking and Intumescent Paint – we have worked closely with BAM, who have been proactive and collaborative throughout the pre-construction period, to bring value to the construction process.

When complete, this project will add to our growing portfolio of MSCP projects, demonstrating BKHS’ capability to deliver large-scale steelwork projects with innovative design solutions.”

Charles Hollingsworth, BKHS Design Manager:

“Throughout our design works, as with all BKHS projects, we have taken a holistic approach which takes into account numerous key parameters including material quantities and the most effective production methods during manufacture to align with a streamlined installation.

BKHS’ aim throughout the design stages is to meet client requirements while ensuring a safe and efficient onsite delivery. Our experienced Design Team will collaborate with all stakeholders to ensure a smooth and seamless delivery of the project and I look forward to seeing the scheme progress throughout 2025.”

To help coordinate the works, strong collaboration throughout the BIM modelling phases for the metal decking and pre-cast cores has enabled the models to be combined in one federated model.

Liam Bradbury, BKHS Drawing Office Manager:

For London Luton Airport Car Park, we have collaborated closely with the project team to integrate the 3D models of our scope items, utilising BIM methods, to run clash checks on the steelwork model. This has allowed us to work simultaneously on various aspects of the project while also achieving our detailing programme.”

 

We have worked in collaboration with Creagh to design, supply and install the four precast concrete cores, featuring columns up to UC356x406x634. A key challenge on site will be fixing columns to the existing foundations which will require careful consideration and coordination on site by our project team.

Simultaneous erection phases have been developed to ensure the efficiency of the precast core and steelwork installation, and to ensure the team meet the stringent programme requirements. To avoid periods of heavy airport traffic, our site and project teams have designed a carefully phased and lotted structure to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum.

Continuing our long-standing history of delivering outstanding projects with BAM Construction, we are delighted to start on site and bring you further updates as the project progresses.
