MONTREAL, Dec. 14,
2023 /CNW/ - AtkinsRéalis [SNC-Lavalin Group
Inc.] (TSX: ATRL), a fully integrated professional services and
project management company with offices around the world, announces
today that it has signed a contract with the Miami-Dade Aviation
Department (MDAD) to provide design services for Runway Incursion
Mitigation at Miami International
Airport's (MIA) Hot Spot 4. The Company will provide professional
engineering services to make taxiways safer for pilots by reducing
potential conflict points and by helping MIA meet Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) compliance guidelines.
"Our proven track record of world-class engineering and
innovative solutions have made air travel safer, easier and faster
time and time again," said Ian L.
Edwards, President and Chief Executive Officer,
AtkinsRéalis. "Our extensive multidisciplinary expertise within the
aviation sector empowers our clients to successfully sustain
operations while simultaneously transforming their assets to
support future passenger growth."
The FAA's Runway Incursion Mitigation (RIM) program reviews
airfield geometry to identify high-risk areas where the potential
exists for runway incursions. Incursions occur when an aircraft,
vehicle or person infringes within the protected operational areas
designated for aircraft landing and takeoff.
Under a six-year $11.5 million
contract, AtkinsRéalis will prepare the design and construction
documents to reconfigure geometry of taxiway connectors and provide
bid and work site inspection services for the construction of new
exit and crossover taxiways and the adjustment of existing
taxiways, which will keep this portion of the airport in FAA
compliance. MIA is among the ten busiest airports in the United States.
"We are global leaders in digital design," said Steve Morriss, President, Engineering Services,
U.S., AtkinsRéalis. "Our worldwide experts love to collaborate on
project objectives and leverage their expertise, insights, and best
practices to our client's benefit, enabling safe and efficient
construction."
AtkinsRéalis' Global Technology Center (GTC) built a 3D model of
MIA's RIM hotspot, allowing the project team to visualize various
reconfiguration options and develop a detailed construction phasing
plan where three runways and four taxiways converge.
AtkinsRéalis has worked at all the top 50 airports across
the United States and has more
than six decades of experience working in Miami-Dade County. The team provided similar
RIM design services at San Diego
International Airport (SAN), the nation's busiest
single-runway airport, without any interruption to regular flight
operations. AtkinsRéalis has a strong presence in Florida and recently completed the design for
the reconstruction of Runway 09L-27R work at the Miami-Opa locka
Executive Airport (OPF). The Company currently provides General
Civil Engineering Services to MDAD under a separate contract.
