ORLANDO, FL. – Construction activity at Orlando International Airport’s South Terminal Complex paused briefly in
recognition of the Independence Day holiday. Work will resume this Friday.
Progress is being made with crews working seven days-a-week to prepare the site for vertical construction in the fall.
So far:
Nearly 75% of the 4,000 total piles are in the ground
Two million cubic yards of dirt have been moved
Construction workforce has grown to more than 500 on site daily
The terminal scheduled for completion in 2021 will provide 19 new gates for domestic and international flights and
increase capacity to more than 50 million passengers annually at Florida’s busiest airport.
Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
