Qantas Airways Limited – Wide Body Aircraft Early Works

Description: This project was undertaken as part of the Qantas master plan to construct a new hardstand area for the maintenance and washing of Boeing 747 aircraft at the Qantas Jet Base in Mascot. To allow for the wingspans of this aircraft type, a nearby roadway and security gates used by catering trucks to access aircraft had to be relocated resulting in the loss of several carpark spaces.

Civilcraft was awarded this contract to facilitate Qantas staff with additional parking on the Jet Base.
