NI Firms Secure RAF Valley Refurbishment Contracts
Two Northern Irish firms have won a £20 million contract to refurbish a runway and other works at RAF Valley in Anglesey.
North Stone and White Mountain will share the contract in a joint venture for Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), that will see them refurbish one of two runways, linking taxiways and providing a new airside perimeter road, new visual aids, aeronautical lighting and signage.
The works will extend the life of the runway by 25 years.
Alan Baker, DIO's Project Manager, said: "We're pleased to have awarded the contract for the work at RAF Valley and are looking forward to getting underway.
"DIO invests in infrastructure to support the armed forces to live, work, train and deploy and the work at RAF Valley will be an important part of that, especially in the light of the investment in fast jet training announced by Defence Equipment and Support."
Construction is scheduled to begin in March this year and has been estimated to last about 12 months.
