Heavy construction work is now drawing to a close, and the primary focus is switching to commissioning and integrating the individual building systems, to ensure that these will be functioning when the terminal opens in 2008. This has led to a change in the programming of the project, with the management team working backwards from this date, to ensure that critical elements are completed in time. Separate articles look at the concept of systems integration and the second stage of Terminal 5, known as T5C.
