WHITE PAPER / AIRPORT UTILITY MASTER PLANNING

5 TECHNOLOGIES FOR AIRPORT UTILITY PLANTS TO CONSIDER LOOKING FORWARD

By Jim Rosick and Jon Schwartz

While overall master planning is common practice among airports, a utility master plan elevates the capital improvement plan, right-sizing an airport’s utility infrastructure to meet changing capacities and improve overall utility infrastructure operations. Several technologies can be implemented to improve resiliency, efficiency and flexibility today and in the future.

Airports have performed master plans for decades, utilizing them as a road map to guide future projects and updates to their facilities. Master plans are typically performed on a regular basis — often every five years — as part of a capital improvement plan.

Master planning affords airports a means to effectively meet changing capacities through the right-sizing of assets. Airports are generally behind in terms of capacity, adding to the stress placed on already aging assets. Effective master planning takes into account a variety of factors to determine necessary upgrades or improvement projects to ease the strain on these assets.
