Baggage Handling Systems: Hartsfield‐Jackson Atlanta International Airport

As the world’s busiest airport, Hartsfield/Jackson International Airport (ATL) in Atlanta, Georgia serves over 88 million passengers a year. Any construction done onsite promises to be difficult with aggressive timelines. So when the Airport Commission began building a new international terminal, it was known that the project would be challenging and it would test any organization’s capabilities.

The new terminal, Terminal F, would be over 1.2 million square feet and require an extensive, state‐of‐the‐art baggage handling system. Because of our reputation for safe, on‐time, and onbudget projects, Delta turned to Commercial Contracting Corporation to undertake this massive project.

Since March of 2009 CCC has been diligently working to get the baggage handling systems (BHS) up and running. As the sole mechanical installer of the BHS, we have installed over 11.7 linear miles of conveyor and have also installed 20 baggage claim units and 17 baggage make‐up units.

To date, CCC has worked over 126,000 manhours without a single lost time incident and the project value has topped $7 million US Dollars. Work is scheduled to be completed by 2012.
