Intricate, 64-Step Baggage Handling System Installation
The Baggage Optimization Project - Phase II (BOP II) continued the Port’s development of a centralized checked baggage screening system to promote efficient, reliable, and safe transfer of baggage from any ticketing counter to any gate.

Completed within the depths of the 24/7/365 active SEA Airport, innovation and close collaboration were critical to this project. VECA’s scope included distribution, branch power, interior lighting, access control, fire alarm, CCTV, communications, and BHS power, controls, and networking to facilitate installation of the new CIBS, centralized screening, and expanded CBRA system in SEA’s Central Terminal. Extensive coordination with the full project team and partner trades was needed in order to execute 64 Steps and numerous short duration cutovers to tie-in the new system. The VECA team performed as much work as possible outside of those shutdown windows to minimize impacts to ongoing airport operations.
