Montreal Pierre Elliot Trudeau Airport
|
Aeroport De Montreal was faced with the challenge of establishing 100% in line hold baggage screening as part of Canada’s overall plan for deployment of Explosive Detection Screening (EDS). The terminal building had grown over many years resulting in a many separate baggage handling systems being installed in the airport.
ADM consultants Pellemon, part of the SNC Lavalin group had recognised the benefit of common use systems in terms of their efficiency and inherent redundancy particularly for the screening systems. They produced a design which in effect converted the airport’s baggage system into a common use system. This required the use of advanced technologies such as tilt tray sortation and Sort Allocation Computer (SAC) Systems.
Logan Teleflex were able to work with the airport and consultant to solve budget problems by saving CAD5 Million without compromising system performance or function through innovative design techniques.
This project was composed of a total of 21 phases spread over 2 major stages designed to effect a virtual complete replacement of the baggage system whilst keeping the airport in operation. These phases were grouped into 2 major stages. The first and most complex stage effectively converted the separate baggage systems into a common use system where every check-in could feed a new tilt tray sorter or a retained and upgraded pusher based sort system.
The second stage involved installing the screening system. This was done off-line and allowed the system to be installed and tested into space cleared for this purpose by the airport. The off-line approach allowed a valuable opportunity for operator training before the system went live. A number of overnight link changes were then made which introduced feed of live bags into the screening system and enabled feed from it to the tilt tray and pusher sorters.
LoganTeleflex deployed a number of proven mechanical design techniques, control systems and IT systems using standardised and proven software all of which gave the project team an assurance that the system would continue working effectively at critical post changeover stages.
The project was completed slightly ahead of schedule allowing 100% bags to be screened by the national deadline of end of December 2005.
