Terminal fit-out context for Aberdeen Airport

Structural Engineering for Airport Retail & Concessions

Airport retail environments present structural challenges that differ significantly from standard commercial fit-outs. At Aberdeen Airport, these typically include:

  • Working within existing terminal structures
  • Interface with landlord / airport structural criteria
  • Tight night-time working windows
  • Weight limits on slabs and mezzanines
  • Complex M&E and services coordination
  • High footfall and safety-critical environments

We provide practical structural engineering solutions that enable retail concepts to be delivered safely, efficiently and without disruption to airport operations.

Our Airport Structural Engineering Services

We support airport retail and concession projects from early concept through to construction.

Typical services include:

  • Structural surveys of existing terminal structures
  • Feasibility studies for new retail units and concessions
  • Structural design for retail fit-outs (CAT A / CAT B)
  • Design of mezzanines, platforms and feature structures
  • Assessment of existing slabs, beams and columns
  • Temporary works design (where required)
  • Construction issue drawings and technical support

All designs are delivered in accordance with UK Building Regulations, airport-specific technical standards, and relevant British / Eurocodes.

Experience Working at Aberdeen Airport

Our experience at Aberdeen Airport includes working within live terminal environments where security, logistics and programme certainty are critical.

We understand:

  • Airport approval processes
  • Landlord technical submissions
  • Design coordination with multiple stakeholders
  • The importance of buildable, low-risk solutions

This allows us to support fast-track retail programmes while maintaining the highest standards of safety and compliance.
