Airside
Without a good airside, airports simply cannot function. Our experts understand that ordered and balanced airside operations go hand-in-hand with good airport terminal design. Our experience makes us an industry leader when it comes to designing runways, taxiways, aprons, and gate stands that ensure safe, secure, and efficient flow for aircraft and airside service vehicles.Landside
Before you can board a plane, you must get to the airport. Access roads and bridges are more than thoroughfares. Properly designed, they alleviate congestion and optimize internal vehicular circulation. They provide access to and from terminal buildings, parking garages, and highways. Our clients reap the benefit of our innovative solutions to airport landside-design challenges.
Facilities and aircraft hangars
These high-tech undertakings need integrated approaches to site planning, building design, and construction execution. We've designed dozens of aircraft facilities worldwide. We're experienced with line and heavy maintenance hangars for air carriers, fixed based operators, military installations, aircraft manufacturers, and special test facilities.
Master planning
High-level planning prepares the framework for development at new and existing airports. We're master planners, experienced in land-use and long-term development studies that satisfy the aviation sector's demand for function and fiscal responsibility. We safeguard airport operations and resolve issues—engineering, aviation growth, environmental, financing, and socioeconomic—at airports and adjacent communities.Aircraft ramp services
We design sustainable systems, employing the latest in passenger boarding-bridge design, aircraft auxiliary-ramp services, and ground-support equipment. Airlines see faster aircraft turnaround and better gate utilization.
