Case Study: CIP Lounge, Terminal 3, Heathrow, Interior Fit Out

Client: British Airways
Main: Contractor: mace
Architect: YRM

The new CIP (Commercially Important Passenger) Lounge for Terminal 3 will provide British Airways First and Club class passengers with facilities equal to the quality and standard already achieved at Terminal 5.

Swift Horsman were contracted to design, manufacture and install entire bathroom and shower areas, which because of our expertise in modern methods of construction, we chose to do using Pods.

The Pods were designed to contain the entire range of services, fixtures, fittings and finishes required for this high quality area.  This was achieved by using our Podwall Pod system to form the structure, this allowed for quick and easy installation.

All Pods were manufactured in our factory by directly employed multi skilled labour, with materials being supplied via our extensive supply chain.  The unbroken chain between our own design team and factory ensures consistency of quality and efficient production methods resulting in a highly shortened programme.

Installation was simple with fully completed Pods simply bolted together and services connected providing an instantly usable washroom and shower facility.

As with all projects, Swift Horsman attention to detail, high quality of workmanship and level expertise were vital to ensure a finished project in keeping with the reputation and expectations of British Airways.
