A Landmark Achievement at LaGuardia
LaGuardia's Central Terminal Building stands tall as a symbol of both aviation innovation and architectural mastery. This monumental USD 4 billion initiative was not just about constructing a building; it was making a dream come true, transforming LaGuardia Airport into a true reflection of the city's spirit. Spanning 1.4 million feet, this new facility has been meticulously designed to accommodate over 14 million travelers with 35 aircraft gates and a top-of-the-line baggage handling system that seamlessly serves eight airline carriers.
A World Class Baggage Handling System
Tasked with planning and creating the baggage handling system (BHS) and aircraft parking layouts, Introba helped turn this vision into reality. The complexity of the project matched its grandeur, requiring high levels of coordination and specialized knowledge in aviation logistics. Going beyond design work, Introba's team also offered bid support and construction administration services to ensure that every phase of the project, from site installation to testing, proceeded smoothly.
The cutting-edge baggage system epitomizes the efficiency of this new terminal building. Meticulously crafted, the system comprises 19,637 feet of conveyor belts, over 1,200 motor/drive units, and a sophisticated network of motor control panels (MCPs), secured doors, and ticket counter queues. At its core is a security screening setup with an explosive detection system (EDS) device, which demonstrates a commitment to passenger safety. Ultimately, the system is an engineering marvel that enhances the passenger experience from check-in to departure.
