Nashville International Airport, Baggage System Expansion
Arora Engineers (Arora) provided special systems design and engineering services including development of drawings and specifications for Nashville International Airport (BNA) baggage handling system (BHS) with a progressive design build delivery method. The overall scope of work of this project included a budget of approximately $86 million for expansion of the BHS system at BNA.
Under this agreement, Arora provided engineering services for the design of a new In-Line Checked Baggage Inspection System (CBIS) utilizing explosive detection systems (EDS) for Terminal A at Bradley International Airport (BDL). The system will transport the nearly two million checked bags BDL screens each year along a milelong network of conveyor belts to a new, 80,000 SF building for security screening. This facility will eliminate baggage screening from the terminal lobby, freeing up space for up to 16 new airline ticket counters. Completion of the facility is scheduled for 2026.
SCOPE OF SERVICES INCLUDED:
- Evaluation of one final alternative based on architectural layouts and designs
- Passive and active telecommunications infrastructure including raceways and structured cabling to service area within building per MNAA requirements
- Telecommunications infrastructure including raceways and cabling to connect new infrastructure to existing terminal infrastructure.
- Coordination of structured cabling system (phone and data), CCTV and control device requirements with MNAA
- Raceways and infrastructure to support CCTV and access control systems.
