Project Description:

Inviron acted as a prime contractor and installer on behalf of BAA supplier, Vanderlande Industries, carrying out the mechanical and electrical installation works on the baggage handling system at Heathrow Terminal 5.

Inviron carried out mechanical and electrical installation works on the Vanderlande Tubtrax^® / Bagtrax^® and the Departure and Check-in conveyor systems.

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

Inviron also installed the Vanderlandes Bagtrax^®, which is a high-speed Destination Coded Vehicle System, guided throughout Terminal 5A/Terminal 5B, and will eventually link to Terminal 5C

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