坦帕国际机场（TPA）出港行李系统安全强化项目

概述

BNP Associates, Inc. was retained by the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority to validate the existing 30% Checked Baggage Inspection System (CBIS) design and to develop it 100%, including TSA approval. Corgan contracted BNP as part of the Design/Build team for this project.

Design Evolution

The 30% design included the replacement of twenty-four existing Explosive Detection System (EDS) machines within the landside facility. The new EDS machines and reconfigured outbound baggage system were initially designed to occupy the same space as the existing system, highly complicating the construction phasing plan and system feasibility. Through extensive coordination with the authority, TSA, and the design team, the program evolved to relocate and install the new CBIS for the west side of the airport, including the EDS machines, at two of the airside facilities instead. The Tampa CBIS optimization design implemented new systems in the A-sort building and Airside C. The segmentation of the existing Baggage Handling System and CBIS at the airport facilitated a convenient split of East and West side projects.

A-Sort CBIS Design

The A-sort CBIS design incorporates three new Leidos eXaminer machines, fed by a baggage delivery configuration that maximizes system redundancy and flexibility. A new Checked Baggage Resolution Area (CBRA) design provides up to ten Level 3 inspection positions.

Airside C Concourse Design

The Airside C concourse CBIS design incorporated four new Leidos eXaminer machines with a similar conveyor design approach. The new CBRA utilizes dual subsystems for the delivery of non-cleared baggage into the room, which contains sixteen Level 3 inspection positions.

West Landside Modifications

The West Landside design modifications serve to distribute baggage from multiple ticket counters and check-in positions. A new manual encoding subsystem was added to distribute baggage, utilizing the space made available by demolishing the existing system.

Construction Support

BNP provided onsite construction administration for the duration of the construction of the new systems.
