Vue d'ensemble<\/p>\n
The Connecticut Airport Authority (CAA) secured nearly $100 million in federal funding during fiscal year 2023 to expand infrastructure, improve passenger circulation, and modernize baggage handling systems at Bradley International Airport. A significant portion of this funding supports construction of a new three\u2011level concourse and implementation of a modern in\u2011line Checked Baggage Inspection System (CBIS) to improve passenger experience and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n
Project Details<\/p>\n
Bradley International Airport\u2019s Terminal A Inline Baggage Screening Building Project includes construction of a new three\u2011level concourse. The upper level provides office space, the middle level serves as a new passenger concourse with ten (10) new gates, and the apron level houses a new in\u2011line Checked Baggage Inspection System (CBIS) and expanded baggage make\u2011up area.<\/p>\n
Prior to this project, BDL operated an antiquated checked baggage screening system that required passengers to manually deliver checked bags directly to TSA screening immediately after ticketing. Implementation of the new in\u2011line CBIS significantly improves the passenger experience by eliminating additional processing steps, reducing confusion, and increasing confidence that checked baggage will be properly screened and delivered to its final destination.<\/p>\n
Whiting\u2011Turner Contracting Company was retained by the Connecticut Airport Authority as the General Contractor to oversee the overall program and engaged Studdiford Technical Solutions, LLC (STS) as the Baggage Handling System (BHS) Subject Matter Experts. STS provides a comprehensive range of services including quality assurance, construction management, construction administration, testing and commissioning, TSA coordination, and project closeout.<\/p>\n
STS supports Whiting\u2011Turner by overseeing installation and commissioning of a new four (4) Explosives Detection System (EDS) unit CBIS. The scope also includes re\u2011control and integration of nine (9) ticket counter subsystems, six (6) curbside subsystems, one (1) oversized baggage subsystem, and one (1) new baggage make\u2011up unit, ensuring full system integration and compliance with TSA requirements.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
