True the security made such recommendations however generally existing infrastructure would have be largely exempted .That said if we look at pier B the cross flows were largely within the pier itself and traffic flows a magnitude smaller by comparison to today.
In addition to the tragic impact of 9/11 on the world, some of the UK border sterile environment was due to remaining outside Schengen -a purely political decision resulting the strengthening and sterile requirements .
Who's been monitoring progress and signed it off? Easy to blame contractors but who are they working for?
Laing O Roarke -MC
Pacal and Watson - Architect
not sure of the H&S consultants maybe MACE
Are the prime companies .
Laing O’Rourke will have signed off to MAG at Practical Completion and will by now have be paid at least 95%
Sub contractors should have received 97.5% by now
In some cases Laing may have hold of performance bonds and or PCGs in addition to the retentions.
It is certain Laing will have significant financial sway over the snagging programme.
However other than emergency work I doubt MAG are going to allow/make access easy over the next three months
