Sydney Airport Air Traffic Control Tower
Sydney Airport Air Traffic Control Tower, Heritage-listed control tower at Sydney Airport, Australia
The 50-meter tall control tower features a circular cabin design supported by a cable-stayed concrete shaft with an external passenger lift and spiral staircase.
The tower, designed by architectural firm Ancher, Mortlock & Woolley, began construction in August 1993 and started operations on January 6, 1996.
The structure received recognition in the 1995 Australian Steel Design Award for Buildings, showcasing excellence in engineering and architectural achievement.
The facility operates continuously throughout the year, with up to six controllers managing aircraft movements across Sydney Airport's parallel runways and taxiways.
The control tower employs an equilateral triangle layout that maximizes structural rigidity while incorporating prefabricated components for efficient construction.
