Project Background:British Airways (BA) has taken charge of two ground run enclosures (GREs) at London Heathrow for testing A380 engines with the minimal noise disturbance for nearby communities. The GREs are designed for post-maintenance engine testing, including take-off power, for aircraft including the double-decker A380, the world’s largest passenger plane.

Works Completed:Fastglobe were contracted to apply one-part mastic / sealant to the horizontal and vertical joints between the concrete panels to the Ground Run Enclosure. Works were complete via mobile access equipment.
