Location
Royal Air Force (RAF) Lossiemouth, Moray, Scotland.
Project Owner/s
UK Defence Infrastructure Organisation, a department of the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD).
Project Description
The LDP is a complex series of projects that is set to transform RAF Lossiemouth into a modern, high-tech station, equipped to face a range of evolving challenges.
Resurfacing works and other enhancements at the RAF Lossiemouth are aimed at future-proofing the base and to prepare the base for the arrival of nine P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, the first of which is expected to arrive in the UK in February 2020.
The scope of work includes the renewal of the main and secondary runways, as well as the construction of a new aircraft servicing platform for the P-8A, and associated infrastructure, including aeronautical ground lighting, approach lighting, drainage, high mast lighting, a post-flight rinse facility and communications. Other improvements include accommodation for personnel, a new air traffic control tower, upgrades to drainage and electrical supplies, and upgraded facilities for the IX (Bomber) Squadron, which moved to RAF Lossiemouth this year.
Potential Job Creation
The project will create about 550 additional military posts and employment opportunities for many local contractors.
Capital Expenditure
The contract is valued at £75-million. The pro-ject forms part of the £500-million RAF LDP.
Planned Start/End Date
Work under the resurfacing contract is expected to be completed in 2021.
