The airport construction will therefore proceed in two major stages:
機場建設將分兩個主要階段進行：

• Phase 1 – Construction of runways, main structures and transport links
第1階段 - 跑道建設，主體結構和運輸環節

• Phase 2 – Construction of second terminal, cargo facilities and capacity upgrade
       第2階段 - 第二終端建設，貨運設施和能力升級

The phased approach here allows us to cater for the appropriate passengers numbers and demand for the new airport grows. Phase 1 will deliver a 2-runway, 1 major terminal airport capable of supporting up to 35 million passengers per year. Phase 2 will deliver a second major terminal and upgrades to allow the airport to carry up to 75mppa.
這里的分階段的方法，讓我們能夠滿足適當的乘客數量和新機場的需求增長。第1階段將提供2跑道，1個機場主要終端能夠支持多達35萬人次每年。第2階段將提供的第二個主要的終端和升級，讓機場攜帶多達75mppa。

The estimates for construction timescales have been based on a review of other major airport construction projects, most specifically Kansai, Incheon, Chek Lap Kok airports and the recent Heathrow Terminal 5 construction. Assessment of these projects, and adjustment for our proposed capacity and location allow us to conclude that the Phase 1 can be completed, and the airport first opened to new customers, in 2023.
估計建設的時間表已根據審查其他主要機場建設項目，最特別的是關西，仁川，赤鱲角機場和最近的希思羅機場5號航站樓建設。

It is anticipated government review, detailed studies, legal wrangling, and planning approval can be completed in 5 years. This assumes most significantly the government at the time has already agreed in principle with the construction of a new airport in the Thames Estuary on the Isle of Sheppey, and further assumes no change in government or government policy in the matter. It is assumed this process would begin in 2011, and be complete by the end of 2015.
據預測政府審查，詳細的研究，法律糾紛，規劃審批，可在5年內完成。這是假設最顯著當時的政府已經在原則上同意與謝佩島在泰晤士河河口建造一個新機場，并進一步假設政府或者政府的政策沒有改變，在這個問題上。

Land acquisition and compulsory purchase can commence while final construction planning is being completed, as local opposition, while small-scale, may delay the process.
而正在完成最后的建設規劃，土地征用和強制購買就可以開始作為當地居民的反對，而小規模的，可能拖延這一進程。#p#分頁標題#e#

The land reclamation project can then begin in 2016, as it is vital this begins as early as possible to ensure soil settlement as early as possible (to avoid issues such as occurred with the Kansai airport island). Therefore 3.5 years is suggested for the total project. Alongside this, earthworks, drainage works, and subterranean utilities infrastructure upgrades can proceed. The onshore land should be prepared for construction by 2019, while the new offshore land should be ready for construction by 2020. http://ukthesis.org/dissertation_sample/ 
土地復墾項目能在2016年開始的，因為它是非常重要的，盡早開始，以確保土壤結算盡早（以避免出現問題，如發生與關西機場島）。

The main terminal building in Phase 1 will begin construction in 2019 and is expected to take 3.5 years to complete. The other major structures in Phase 1 are expected to be built concurrently and will take 1.5-2.5 years to complete. All are expected to be completed in 2022. Testing of technology, systems, processes and flights can then be carried out through 2022. Successful completion of these projects will allow the airport to officially open at the beginning of 2023.
所有預計將在2022年完成。然后，可以通過2022年進行的測試技術，系統，流程和航班。這些項目的成功完成，將讓機場在2023年年初正式開啟。

While Phase 2 will part of the original plans submitted in 2011, it is not safe to assume that in the 11subsequent years there may be no reversal of policy of change of government, therefore a further 2 years of re-assessment and application for approval is anticipated before construction of Phase 2 can begin. After this, in 2024 further soil operations and ground preparation can begin, followed by Terminal 2. In 2025 the work on the remaining upgrade structures and a state-of-the-art cargo facility can begin. Construction times in Phase 2 are slight reduced with the benefit of some of the previous ‘ground work’ already established in Phase 1. If testing can begin and be completed in 2027, the second stage of the airport can be opened in 2028.
雖然第2階段將在2011年提交的原計劃的一部分，它是不是安全的假設，在11subsequent幾年有可能是沒有改變政府的政策逆轉，因此工作2年重新評估和應用批準預計第2期工程就可以開始之前。在此之后，在2024年進一步土壤經營和地面準備開始，隨后由2號航站樓。在2025年剩余的升級結構和一個國家的最先進的貨運設施的工作才能開始。

Therefore, by 2028, an airport with a capacity of 75mppa can be achieved. If the airport successfully attracts new customers, the forecast throughput of passengers is shown in Table 4:#p#分頁標題#e#
因此，到2028年，機場容量75mppa可以實現。如果機場成功地吸引了新的客戶，乘客的預測通過表4中所示：

After 2040, if successful, the airport could be operating at or very near its runway and terminal capacity, and further expansion may be required.
2040年后，如果成功的話，可以在機場或非常接近它的跑道和終端能力，并可能需要進一步擴張。
