Snapes delivered a coordinated after-hours seating installation at an active airport terminal in Sydney, managing removal, assembly, placement, site adjustments, and final handover within restricted overnight access windows.
An airport terminal in Sydney required the replacement and installation of passenger seating while maintaining normal daytime operations. The scope included unloading and destuffing new seating, removing existing benches and packaging, assembling and positioning replacement units, clearing waste, and completing final installation checks. A five-person crew and dedicated project manager were assigned to deliver the works across an approved two-night programme.
Installation could only take place between approximately 9:30 pm and 4:00 am, with airport induction and controlled entry procedures further reducing productive working time. The terminal also offered limited space for staging and installation. During the works, the team identified that part of the proposed seating layout would restrict access to a toilet door, requiring the layout to be reviewed without delaying the overnight programme or affecting the terminal’s reopening.
The seating installation was completed in approximately one and a half nights, ahead of the approved two-night programme. Each overnight shift concluded with the work area cleared and prepared for normal terminal operations, allowing the airport environment to reopen without extending the planned installation window.
The installation was completed ahead of the approved two-night project schedule.
New seating was assembled, positioned, and installed while working around restricted site access and an operational airport environment.
Work areas were cleared, checked, and handed back before normal terminal operations resumed each morning.
