SubscribeAtkins were commissioned to design and deliver the largest automated cargo facility in the world. British Airways, through a collaborative discussion, with air specialist systems and process engineers, undertook a cultural change to the operation of their cargo business.
Based at Heathrow airport the New World Cargo facility has been designed with state of the art systems housed in one of the most distinctive architectural buildings within the airport complex. The expressive modern design is a true example of form derived from function.
The single span structure allows for a fully flexible floorplate for both current and more importantly future operations. This solution allows BA to maintain their operation at the forefront of technology.
