Refurbishment of PBBs and Associated Systems

At Sprint, we specialize in the comprehensive refurbishment of Passenger Boarding Bridges (PBBs) and their integrated systems, ensuring enhanced operational reliability, safety, and aesthetics. With a deep understanding of aviation infrastructure, we offer cost-effective solutions that extend the lifecycle of critical airport assets and elevate the overall passenger experience.

Scope of Refurbishment

Scope of Refurbishment

• Passenger Boarding Bridges (PBBs): Structural repairs, replacement of worn components, cabin and tunnel restoration, anti-corrosion treatments, repainting, and modernization of aesthetics.
• Electromechanical Systems: Overhaul of motors, drives, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, including drive bogies and elevation mechanisms.
• Electrical & Control Systems: Upgradation of PLCs, sensors, control panels, HMI interfaces, and integration with airport systems.
• Air Conditioning & Ventilation: Revamping HVAC units to ensure comfortable temperatures and improved energy efficiency.
• Visual Guidance Docking Systems (VGDS): Calibration, software updates, and equipment replacement to ensure precise aircraft alignment.
• Pre-Conditioned Air (PCA) Units & Ground Power Units (GPUs): Restoration or replacement to guarantee optimal aircraft servicing during turnaround.

Refurbishment of Other Airport Systems

In addition to PBBs, we also offer specialized refurbishment solutions for other critical airport infrastructure systems, including:

• Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL): Restoration and modernization of runway and taxiway lighting systems, including fixtures, transformers, CCRs, and cabling, ensuring compliance with ICAO standards and improved visibility and safety.
• Apron Lighting & Power Systems: Replacement of damaged masts, luminaires, and switchgear to improve energy efficiency and illumination coverage.
• FIDS, PA Systems, and Other Terminal Equipment: Repair and upgrade of Flight Information Display Systems, Public Address Systems, and other terminal technologies to enhance passenger communication and operational coordination.

Why Refurbish Instead of Replace?

• Cost-Effective: Significant savings over new installations.
• Sustainability: Promotes reuse, reduces waste, and minimizes environmental impact.
• Minimal Downtime: Phased refurbishment plans allow operations to continue smoothly.
• Modernization: from “Old to Bold”- Upgrades older systems to match today’s technology and safety standards.

Key Benefits

• Increased reliability and reduced operational disruptions
• Enhanced safety for passengers and operators
• Enhanced safety for passengers and operators
• Extended asset life and reduced total cost of ownership
