Delivering Proven and Comprehensive Baggage Handling System Solutions

BNP works closely with airports, architectural and MEP design teams, and airlines to collaborate and develop solutions that meet both evolving needs and project requirements.

System Evaluation

Uncover hidden inefficiencies and optimize your baggage handling system performance with our comprehensive system evaluations. Through data-driven insights we provide recommended solutions to increase system efficiency.

Design

Craft cost-effective baggage handling system options tailored to project needs with our expert design services. We blend innovation and practicality to create solutions that enhance efficiency and operational excellence.

Specifications

Ensure systems are built to the latest standards and perform according to design objectives. We deliver clear, comprehensive documents that minimize risk and maximize project success.

Simulation

Our simulations explore scenarios and verify designs prior to procurement and allow for system modifications to be made during the design phase, reducing future construction risks.

Cost Analysis

We understand that accurate budgeting is crucial for project success. We partner with you to analyze costs, generate accurate forecasting, and ensure your project is completed on time and on budget.

Operations Management Tool

Our Operations Management Tool is simulation software that can be utilized by airport staff to test operational scenarios. It allows us to anticipate and prepare for different scenarios by using simulation models to analyze their potential impacts.

Security Checkpoint

BNP specializes in creating checkpoint solutions that improve passenger flow, increase threat detection, and comply with the most recent security regulations. By combining advanced screening technologies, ergonomic design, and simple wayfinding, we build checkpoints that minimize wait times while maintaining the greatest degree of security.

Construction Administration

BNP works closely and collaboratively with airports, architectural and MEP design teams, and airlines. We support you at every phase, including scheduling, submittal reviews, program management, site supervision, detailed inspections of the system, acceptance testing, and the operational start up period.

Statistical Analysis

We analyze current and future system needs using advanced computer models developed by our simulation team. Design data is integrated into BNP's simulation tools, which generate clear charts and reports to help airports and airlines validate and refine the proposed design.

Contract documentation

We prepare detailed specifications and contract documents based on the system design, project goals, and BNP's real-world experience with mechanical, electrical, and control systems.

Bidding and award assistance

We help pre-qualify vendors, issue bid documents, and support bid evaluations—providing valuable insights thanks to BNP's deep industry knowledge, market pricing expertise, and contract experience.

Program/project management

We oversee a wide range of baggage handling systems construction projects, including analysis, planning, estimating, design, cost management and stakeholder management.
