Boustead wins contract to design, build and lease aircraft service centre for Bombardier

Boustead Singapore says its wholly-owned subsidiary, Boustead Projects, has been awarded a contract to design, build and lease an integrated aircraft service centre for Bombardier Aerospace Services Singapore, which will be located at the Seletar Aerospace Park in Singapore.

Employing more than 30,600 workers globally, Bombardier Aerospace is a world leader in the design, manufacture and support of innovative aviation products for the business, commercial, specialised and amphibious aircraft markets.

With a gross floor area of 6,490 square metres, the Aircraft Service Centre is designed to undertake the maintenance, repair and servicing of Bombardier Learjet,

Challenger and Global business aircraft families. The centre will also integrate a three-floor office. Completion is expected in calendar year 2013.

The Aircraft Service Centre is being developed under Phase 2 of the SAP. This is the 13th aerospace project undertaken by Boustead Projects, and its fifth aerospace project at the 320-hectare SAP, an integrated aerospace hub which is currently home to numerous global aerospace corporations.

With substantial completion of the first two phases of the SAP, JTC announced Phase 3 of the development in late 2011, which will expand the SAP by an additional 70 hectares.

Other projects undertaken by Boustead Projects at the SAP include Rolls-Royce’s Achord fan blade manufacturing facility, Rolls-Royce’s test bed facility, Bell Helicopter’s MRO facility and Hawker Pacific’s MRO facility.

The Aircraft Service Centre is the tenth industrial facility in Boustead Projects’ portfolio of industrial leasehold facilities (both completed and under construction) and the second secured during FY2012, bringing the portfolio size to an estimated gross floor area of over 96,000 square metres.
