Flushed with success: Dyer & Butler completes Toilet facility refurbishment at London Gatwick

Dyer & Butler has improved the flight experience for passengers with the completion of its toilet facility refurbishment at London Gatwick.

Working with its client, London Gatwick, Dyer & Butler has redeveloped the South Terminal Pre-Immigration Hall facilities and is due to complete works within Gate 55 North Terminal.

The existing toilets were tired, dated and in need of a facelift to provide a better offering and experience to passengers. The project saw Dyer & Butler undertake the design and installation of new electrical and mechanical works, drainage, domestic water services and all the construction works, including tiling, ceilings, doors, wall panelling and the installation of all furniture. This included the testing of all the systems and linking to the Airport’s Building Management System (BMS). All disciplines were completed by Dyer & Butler’s in house team.

The project, which began in March 2023, is due to be completed this month, with the North Terminal facilities to open in December 2023.

As part of the design, Water Harvesting technology was introduced, with the expectation that, in future, direct rainwater collection can provide the water to flush toilets and wash hands. Dyer & Butler is committed to making its operations more sustainable to ensure a future of safer, greener services for clients and their customers.

Speaking on the project, Paul Spencer, Contracts Manager at Dyer & Butler, said: “We are proud to deliver such a prestigious quality product on behalf of our client London Gatwick , which showcases Dyer & Butler’s in-house capabilities in full. Led by Marius Mazeika, Project Manager at Dyer & Butler, this project was aided by Remis Bublys, Site Manager, Scott Adams, Electrical Project Manager, and our team of superb in-house engineers and support staff. The team worked tirelessly to achieve our targets, with safety at the forefront of every working day in a very challenging environment. Well done to everyone involved.”

Claire Kennedy, Project Manager at London Gatwick, said: “Working with toilets and drainage might not be glamourous however getting it right is imperative. We are pleased to be able to open this facility for our passengers.

“We’ve used sustainable materials where possible, including LED lighting and enabling reduced water use on the cisterns. We are committed to building a sustainable future for the airport and its local communities.

We have delivered a quality product for London Gatwick and I would like to thank everyone involved for their perseverance.”
