Aviation

Designing for the Future

Managing a successful airport is a balancing act. Security, efficiency and profitability must counterbalance usability for airlines and accessibility for passengers. And the business environment continues to evolve. Pending regulations, technology and a renewed focus on supportive development inform new possibilities for revenue generation. 

Leveraging Trends

We understand trends impacting the industry — from NextGen and Safety Management Systems to EPA storm water regulations and the FAA’s expectations for sustainability. We can apply tools such as electronic airport layout plans, BIM/CIM, 4D and 5D, and asset management to increase enplanements. 

Custom Project Teams

Exceptional talent characterises our multidiscipline teams, capable of identifying and designing precise solutions for operational enhancement. Our comprehensive suite of services rounds out our custom approach to each project and program. 

Beyond civil design work, we specialize in many critical aviation services, including:

  • Airfield Electrical
  • Airfield Pavement
  • People Movers
  • Sustainable Stormwater Management

Building on our Strengths

Our work in the aviation industry continues to grow. That’s because we bring to aviation projects the same values that have established our reputation in other markets: top tier technical expertise and a client-focused commitment to project delivery. And with locations worldwide, we have staff local to many major hubs.
