This project will primarily focus on the outbound BHS servicing the North concourses and inbound system. The complete modernization of Terminal 4 BHS includes T4 North (T4N), T4 International (T4I), T4 Recheck (T4R), T4 FIS (T4FIS), and T4 In-Bound 1 thru 7 (T4IB1-7).
“The baggage handling equipment likely isn’t on the average traveler’s mind, but its purpose, efficiency, and reliability directly connect to the traveler’s experiences, and it must be sound. What this project requires is an understanding and coordination of PHX needs, TSA needs, and the dynamic atmosphere in which the work will be performed,” said Ben Bunge, Weitz’s Director of Aviation. “The Weitz team provides the depth of readily available resources, specialized expertise, aviation experience, and aviation knowledge combined with over 44 years of local experience."
Weitz and JSM have successfully completed years of BHS projects together. The two companies plan to modernize the 32-year-old baggage handling system in part by using a phased design and implementation plan, including contingency planning, showing a smooth transition between new and existing systems while not impacting active airport operations and passenger experience. BIM Technology will also be used to show work in 3D, which increases cost certainty and project communication.
The Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Terminal 4 BHS Upgrades CMAR procurement and design will occur in 2023-2024. Construction will begin in 2024 and is expected to be completed in 2027. Upon completion, the BHS will be more reliable and operationally efficient, compliant with TSA Planning Guidelines & Design Standards Version 7.0, more energy efficient, and less costly to operate due to reduced maintenance trouble calls and system outages.
