Challenge: Challenges consisted of working with a new client, existing conditions, and phasing plans to maintain the routine operations of the airport.
Solution: Utilize Matterport 3D scanning technology to attain high-level documentation of the existing conditions, creating a precise phasing plan that allows routine operations within the airport to continue, providing exceptional coordination efforts with the Syracuse Regional Airport Authority (SRAA) in pursuance of seamless project progression.
Result: The completion of a successful fully developed deliverable to exceed the client’s expectations where we used best engineering practices, coordination, and design work that led to the completion of the project that was on time and within budget.
This project involved designing and replacing seven (7) passenger boarding bridges at Syracuse Hancock International Airport—Gates 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 26. Milhouse designed the electrical power distribution, IT/Telecommunications, and fire alarm systems. The existing bridges were demolished, and new connections (feeders, communication connections, and fire alarm integration) have been provided for all seven replacement bridges. The scope of work included investigating and evaluating the existing bridges and equipment for possible reuse, coordination efforts with the SRAA, electrical, IT, and fire alarm design work, and high-level phasing efforts.
