BOARDING BRIDGES
AERO BridgeWorks. " We were able to
deliver the project under their budget
and over six months ahead of schedule.
The cost and time savings allowed the
airport to replace an additional gate. "
Bass said altogether, the final cost
of the project came to $17.8 million not
including consultant fees.
Kraig Taylor, site superintendent
with A ERO BridgeWorks, said
that ORF opting to include not just
the bridge equipment, but also all
the foundations, site/civil, building
infrastructure upgrades and terminal
exterior modif ications in a single
contract ensured the entire project
was fully coordinated. This approach
signif icantly reduced the airport's
risk and was key to the overall project
success.
" Norfolk included all of the
infrastructure related to the bridge
in one package and this decision was
paramount in our ability to ensure the
project was well coordinated, completed
safely and with the highest level of
quality. When it's all under one contract,
then there's one point of responsibility
and it's much simpler for the owner to
coordinate it and much easier for us,
quite honestly, to do our job and work
with all of the stakeholders, " Taylor said.
New Bridges, New Tech
The driving forces behind the project
were the age of the existing bridges,
some dating back to the 1980s, and
An inside
look of the
bridges.
ORF's wish to bring the maintenance
of the bridges under their control.
" We had a lot of different jet bridges
made by different manufacturers, being
maintained by different groups. And the
consistency was just not there, and the
level of quality of being maintained
was not there for it, " Bass recounted.
" We changed our program here at the
airport to include the maintenance of
all jet bridges so that the airport would
then own, operate and maintain the jet
bridges for all of our airline tenants. The
ultimate goal was to basically create a
better experience for our passengers,
cleaner jet bridges, well-maintained, and
