This paper describes the design and construction of the vast piled basement structures for the three terminal buildings at London Heathrow's £4·3 billion Terminal 5 project, together with 1 million m2 of associated aircraft pavements. The basements are up to 20 m deep and involved the excavation and reuse of 6·5 million m3 of gravel and clay. The aircraft pavement involved a number of innovations including development of a new high-strength concrete, which delivered a thinner construction and resulted in programme and environmental benefits.

This paper focuses on the integration of hydraulic equipment into temporary works, and how they can work together to provide safe and effective solutions across different fields of civil engineering. It focuses on the challenges faced by the temporary works designer when integrating hydraulics into modular construction methods for structures such as high-rise buildings, airport infrastructure and sport stadia, with notable examples provided from around the world. It also covers high-capacity tower systems for refinery construction and various bridge construction projects, from concrete viaducts to suspension bridges.

Engineering and architecture are close disciplines with much overlap. Co-operation between design team partners to combine their experience leads to successful building structures. The paper discusses the key issues in the design of shells, giving methods of categorisation to aid communication within the design team. There has been a recent move towards freeform shells and the paper shows the necessity of working these up from clear rational parameters rather than relying on a computer-generated image alone. It shows the key material parameters that need to be addressed in grid shell design and shows how results from model tests and smaller-scale precedents can inform choice of material and size of structural elements. A review of recent shell structures includes references to timber gridshells (Downland, Savill) comparing their form-finding, modelling and construction techniques with the Pods, Scunthorpe (construction start September 2009)
