TAMPA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT- FLORIDA 697DCK-23-R-ECJH2
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Tampa International Airport (TPA) Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) Project
The Tampa International Airport (TPA) Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) Project is a significant federally funded construction initiative aimed at enhancing aviation safety and operational efficiency. Awarded under contract 697DCK-23-R-ECJH2, this project is a crucial component of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)‘s ongoing efforts to modernize air traffic control infrastructure across the United States.
Project Scope and Objectives
This project focuses on the design, construction, and modernization of the existing air traffic control tower at Tampa International Airport. The scope of work includes:
Structural Enhancements – Reinforcement of the existing tower structure to ensure stability, resilience, and long-term durability in compliance with FAA and industry standards.
Systems Upgrades – Installation of state-of-the-art air traffic control equipment, radar systems, and communication networks to improve operational efficiency.
Safety and Compliance – Implementation of fire suppression systems, enhanced access controls, and emergency response measures to meet federal safety regulations.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability – Incorporation of eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient lighting, and HVAC systems to align with FAA’s sustainability goals.
Strategic Importance
Tampa International Airport is one of the busiest airports in Florida, serving over 22 million passengers annually and facilitating both domestic and international flights. A modernized ATCT will significantly enhance air traffic management, reduce flight delays, and improve overall airspace safety.
The upgrades will provide air traffic controllers with improved visibility, cutting-edge technology, and optimized workflow, ensuring seamless coordination of aircraft operations. The new tower will also accommodate future growth, supporting the airport’s expansion plans and increasing capacity for air travel demand.
Long-Term Benefits
Upon completion, this project will result in:
Improved Air Traffic Control Capabilities – Enabling controllers to efficiently manage flights and enhance aviation safety. Enhanced Operational Efficiency – Reducing congestion, improving flight scheduling, and minimizing disruptions. Greater Compliance with FAA Standards – Ensuring the facility meets or exceeds all regulatory requirements. Sustainable and Cost-Effective Infrastructure – Lower energy consumption and maintenance costs through modernized systems.
