In order to accommodate larger aircraft, the aircraft stands at Africa’s busiest runway were required to be upgraded and reconfigured.

SMEC was awarded the project as part of it’s appointment on ACSA’s panel for provision of professional engineering services for the rehabilitation of airside infrastructure at ACSA managed airports nationwide.
