Transforming Dublin Airport

Check-in Hall Steel Starts at T2

The first elements of the steel structure for the T2 check-in hall at Dublin Airport were erected this afternoon.

The check-in hall for Terminal Two is located in front of the main T2 terminal building, which is now well under construction.

T2 contractor Watson Steel lifted the first steel column for the check-in hall into position at about 3.20pm this afternoon, having earlier unloaded several truck loads of steel at the check-in hall site.

Over the past six months, the steel frame of T2’s main passenger terminal has transformed the airport skyline. But with the check-in hall now beginning to take shape, the full design of Terminal Two will become more obvious to both passengers and staff.

Steel erection began at T2 on March 31, when the first elements of the baggage hall were lifted into position. Work began on the frame of the terminal proper in May.
