DAA said John Sisk & Son is the leading building and civil engineering contractor in Ireland while Lagan is a specialist in aviation and airport infrastructure development.
The Airside and Landside Lot 1 framework consists of civil engineering and infrastructure projects to upgrade the pavement, drainage and electrical systems at Dublin Airport’s boarding gate piers, aircraft stands, terminals, aprons, taxiways and the general airfield campus.
