Environmental aspects
The works primarily involve the upgrade of safety and security-related airport equipment, all of which operate within the existing airport boundaries. No adverse environmental impacts are therefore anticipated and on this basis it is understood that no environmental impact assessment (EIA) is required. However, this will be further reviewed during project appraisal when the final scope of works has been established.
Procurement
