Demand for air travel in the southeast of the United Kingdom is expected to double in the next 20 years. London Heathrow Airport, one of the world's leading international destinations is at the center of a network of London-based airports. Heathrow previously consisted of four terminals. A fifth terminal, known as "T5" was developed and constructed by BAA (formerly the British Airport Authority). To execute the T5 project, BAA selected an innovative approach by implementing a true partnering philosophy. Design firms and major system suppliers were pre-selected based on qualification submittals. The true uniqueness of the T5 project was in not utilizing a typical and traditional contract as would normally be used in the construction industry. It was a very different arrangement for all parties. This paper elaborates on the details of this unique project approach: a success story that uses an unconventional partnering agreement and a design philosophy that is unprecedented in the industry, especially when considering a project of this complexity, under considerable constraints, and of such magnitude and duration.
