MY TELNO OTTER 196' (PARA 10): HONG KONG AIRPORT PROJECT: AIRPORT
TERMINAL BUILDING DESIGN CONTRACT
1.
I AM FAXING TO YOU TODAY THE LIST OF THE GROUPS, AND THE COMPANIES WHICH MAKE UP THOSE GROUPS, WHO HAVE SUCCESSFULLY PRE- QUALIFIED FOR THE AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING DESIGN CONTRACT. OF THE EIGHT, FOUR ARE LARGELY U S LEAD AND THREE LARGELY U K LEAD.
2. SINCE 22 GROUPS SOUGHT TO PRE-QUALIFY IT WAS INEVITABLE THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME NOTABLE CASUALTIES. THE REJECTION OF I.M. PEI (USA) HAS RAISED SOME EYEBROWS. AMONG THE BRITISH CASUALTIES
THOSE WHICH HAVE CAUSED MOST DISTRESS AND SURPRISE WERE STRONG BIDS BY AN ACER LED GROUP (ACER HAVE BEEN HEAVILY INVOLVED IN THE AIRPORT PROJECT SINCE ITS BEGINNING) AND ANOTHER LED BY W S ATKINS. THE INCLUSION OF LEO DALY (USA), PRIMARILY KNOWN AS INTERIOR DESIGNERS, AS A LEAD CONSULTANT, HAS PERHAPS CAUSED THE MOST SURPRISE OF ALL. YOU WILL NOTE THAT OVE ARUP HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INSERTED THEM-SELVES INTO SEVERAL OF THE GROUPS, BUT INTERESTINGLY, FOR DIFFERENT WORK WITH EACH. THE BAA/NORMAN FOSTER COMBINATION IS PROBABLY THE MOST EYE-CATCHING OF THE BRITISH CONTENDERS.
