THE ASK
As Kansas City International Airport underwent a series of major renovations, Southwest Airlines needed an interim baggage handling facility on-site. Having collaborated with Sprung on a number of projects throughout the United States in the past, executives at Southwest knew Sprung could once again provide them with a fast, flexible and cost-effective solution.
HOW SPRUNG DELIVERED
Sprung designed and delivered a fully insulated 90’ x 130’ baggage facility building. A key feature of the temporary facility was its conveyor system, which extended from the airport’s conventional terminal building into the Sprung structure. Not only did this conveyor need to be covered, it also had to cross a traffic lane used by baggage tugs. To ensure baggage would flow without issue, Sprung engineered a large opening (measuring 19’ x 7’6’’) to allow for tug traffic to run underneath the protected conveyor.
