Location: Heathrow Airport, Terminal 5

Inviron acted as prime contractor on behalf of BAA supplier, Vanderlande Industries, carrying out the mechanical and electrical installation works on the baggage handling system; Vanderlande Tubtrax^® and Bagtrax^®, along with Departure and Check-in Conveyors at Heathrow Terminal 5.

The unique Tubtrax^® system was a new development for Terminal 5, it is a network of twin belt conveyors, directly linked to the 'Early Bag-Store', where baggage is retrieved from and automatically returned to the system, to be delivered to the relevant aircraft prior to departure.

Vanderlande's Bagtrax^®, is a high-speed Destination Coded Vehicle System, guided throughout Terminal 5A and 5B, which will eventually link to Terminal 5C.

The culture at Terminal 5 was unique, with safety standards being absolutely paramount.  Inviron's commitment to safety was recognised on many occasions, through BAA's Monthly Safety Awards.
