PJ Hegarty

PJ Hegarty should be awarded the Impact in Transport – Contractor Award for its successful delivery of the Echo Romeo Taxiway project, which was completed in February 2024.Through Early Contractor Involvement (ECI), the project fostered strong collaboration, driving innovation and efficiency in construction. Over 200 personnel worked 175,000 hours across a 10-month, 24/7 operation without a single Lost-Time Injury.Innovative drainage solutions enhanced climate resilience, while alternative pavement materials, including EME2 and SMA, reduced carbon emissions by 500 tonnes. The project's sustainable design optimised aircraft flow, immediately proving its value upon opening – within the first four days, 56% of all arrivals used the new exit. This significantly improved operational efficiency, reduced delays, and cut aircraft fuel emissions, reinforcing Gatwick's long-term sustainability goals.PJ Hegarty has delivered an impressive piece of aviation infrastructure by integrating innovation, safety, sustainability, and efficiency from the project's outset.
