Tulsa International Airport Selects Quatrotec for Baggage and Cargo Handling Services

Quatrotec, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alien Technology Corporation, today announced it has been awarded a $5.64 million contract to replace six inbound baggage conveyors at Tulsa International Airport. The existing inbound conveyor lines are nearing the end of their service life and will be replaced or refurbished, providing reliable operation to the airport for years to come.

Quatrotec will replace the inbound baggage conveyor system, which carries passenger baggage from aircraft to the east and west baggage claim areas. The project involves replacing six inbound baggage conveyors and converting the existing stainless steel enclosed conveyor system on the east and west terminal connector bridges to a glass-panel enclosed system. The new glass panels will first be etched by an artist before installation by the Quatrotec team. The glass panels will permit passengers a unique view of the baggage as it travels across the connector bridges to the claim areas.

“We were able to win this competitively bid project because it aligns well with our capabilities, and look forward to working with the Tulsa Airport Authority and their project team,” said Matt Connolly, Quatrotec’s Vice President of Business Development. “The project is an excellent fit for Quatrotec due to our experience with complex projects in active airports. We have developed a project plan that will mitigate operational disruptions and meet the Airport’s schedule. This project provides yet another opportunity for our firm to deliver innovation and value to our clients.”

Quatrotec is a specialized professional services and technology firm that provides complete solutions to meet the sophisticated requirements of the transportation industry. Quatrotec has worked at 33 U.S. airports and projects are currently underway at San Francisco International Airport, Detroit International Airport, Newark-Liberty Airport, Philadelphia International Airport and Burbank Airport.

Construction at Tulsa International Airport will begin after the first of the year.
