" We had to phase the work. Multiple
activities and crews were closely coordinated
and worked together including electricians,
civil contractors, ramp striping crews, cranes
and of course the bridge and equipment all
within one gate area. In this approach, we
were able to perform all the work at the gate
without impacting any adjacent operations,
which was much appreciated by the airport
and how we normally perform our installations, "
Pearson says.
The Benefits of Holism
With only some finalizing left to be done for
the iOPS system, ORF is reaping the rewards of
their holistic approach to the project. Bass says
it has been a major benefit from a maintenance
perspective.
" Because I can purchase spare parts, and
they work on every single one of the bridges, I
don't have to keep as many spare parts because
I don't have a variety. And it really reduces on
my overall costs for keeping stock, " he says.
" And my maintenance costs, because they're
not unique, each one is a repeat of each other,
I only have to train my staff on one particular
type of passenger loading bridge, and then they
can basically work on any of them, " Bass continues.
" And so, now I'm able to take over a lot
of maintenance items that usually you had to
have a significant amount of knowledge since
each manufacturer is a little bit different in
how they construct and how they wire up their
particular passenger loading bridges. This is
not the case for us now.
" So, when they're trained, they can basically
work on majority of our passenger loading
bridges, which has been a big cost savings to
the airport. "
Aside from ORF saving time and saving
money, which allowed them to add another
bridge to the project, the holistic approach
also proved beneficial on the construction side.
" They didn't procure just boarding bridges
and issue separate contracts for other scopes
of this project. Norfolk Airport made this an

all-inclusive turn-key project that, in addition
to the PBB equipment itself, included all the
necessary foundations, electrical upgrades, low
voltage improvements, plumbing work, access
control, fire alarm connections, ramp striping
and exterior building improvements to complete
the entire scope of a gate replacement, "
says Pearson. " This streamlined the entire
process for the airport, resulting in a well-coordinated
project completed ahead of schedule
and within budget.
" Getting through that turn-key delivery
decision process, making sure the design is
correct, and then issuing a single package was
a great decision by ORF and one we would
suggest for any airport considering a passenger
boarding bridge replacement program. "
