Brisbane Airport’s 3.3km, $1.3 billion New Parallel Runway (NPR) is the biggest construction project in all of Australia.  It is expected to not only double the airport’s previous capacity but bring an additional $5 billion in benefit to the region.

Airbiz set out the full geometric planning of the NPR for Code F aircraft as well as:

• Taxiways & Roads
• Fencing
• Airfield lighting
• ALERS & ARFFS.

Through the lifecycle of the project, we supported the BAC design team with further elements such as:

• Airfield planning
• Geometric and linemarking design
• Technical advice on runway operational planning
• Airfield simulation, conceptual and operational models

The New Parallel Runway opened in July 2020.
