Balfour Beatty, the international infrastructure group, has been awarded a £170 million contract to modernise baggage handling at Heathrow Airport.

 
The project, which has been awarded through the Heathrow Airport Limited Delivery Integrator Framework to which Balfour Beatty was appointed in 2014, involves upgrading and installing baggage screening and handling systems at Heathrow’s eastern baggage facility.
