Laydown and Logistics areas

The Proposed Project: Laydown and Logistics areas

As part of the Greater Toronto Airports Authority's (GTAA's) Toronto Pearson Airport Longterm Investment in Facilities & Terminals (LIFT) Program, logistics and laydown areas will be constructed on Airport Lands, to facilitate construction needs. The sites will consist of temporary construction trailers, worker parking lot, material laydown, equipment storage, and associated infrastructure to support Airport construction projects.

The sites will undergo a variety of improvements, depending upon the requirements for construction, which are expected to include as required minor excavation, clearing and grubbing, utility removals/relocations including the addition of temporary pole-mounted lighting with overhead power, re-grading, placement of aggregate and compact areas where required, construction trailers, security booths, transportation services for workers, paving and line painting of parking and trailer areas, stormwater management, and other associated infrastructure. No new permanent buildings are proposed. Trailers will be prefabricated units delivered to the site.

Several sustainability best practices will be incorporated into the projects design and implementation for the wider Toronto Pearson Airport Longterm Investment in Facilities & Terminals (LIFT) Program.
