Aviation projects, particularly those of grand scale and complexity, take time to coordinate long before the project team breaks ground.

As someone well-versed in the challenges of multimodal transit, I’ve experienced this firsthand: from aligning numerous stakeholders to navigating regulatory landscapes and funding details. But amidst this complexity lies an opportunity for transformative pre-construction planning that can benefit projects decades after they’re completed.

For every part of the customer journey: from the parking lots to the headhouse, through airport security and shuttles to terminals, to baggage claim and curbside services, we aim to limit disruption while supporting landside and airside improvements.

On any project team, asset management is the planning phase tool we leverage for successful operations and customer service. For aviation transportation, where reliability is paramount, preventive maintenance scheduling and allocating resources is crucial for operational efficiency.

I take pride in building bridges with clients to establish long-term practices that will keep aviation improvements in a state of good repair – coordinating with clients so they can obtain the necessary funds for preventative repairs and maintenance to maintain timely service for the public.

There’s also an opportunity on major redevelopment projects to prioritize sustainability by focusing on the longevity of materials. Project teams can dedicate proactive, predictive planning to measure the long-term efficacy of various sustainable options.

In doing so, asset management emerges as a linchpin for future-proofing efforts on major redevelopments.

But STV’s vision extends beyond operational efficiency. It encompasses a broader ethos of community connectivity and economic prosperity. In my own travels, advances in transit systems hold the promise of bridging geographical divides and offering commuters a faster, more efficient mode of travel. That’s where capacity building – planning for future growth with asset management – is so crucial.

As we navigate the complexities of aviation projects, I can’t overstate the pivotal role of asset management. It’s not merely a technical necessity; it’s the cornerstone upon which our collective vision of a sustainable, interconnected future lies: one with integrity and accountability.
