Safety Systems Management (SSM) has taken a significant step forward in construction site safety by installing 25 mobile communications towers at The New Terminal One at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). These towers, operational during the construction phase, are designed to provide seamless communication across the project, ensuring the safety and security of all workers through immediate audio/visual alerts and mass messaging capabilities.
The installation covers Phase A of the project, a 1.8-million square foot area that includes new arrivals and departures halls and the first set of 14 new gates. This advanced system replaces traditional air horns, offering a more efficient and effective way to handle emergencies such as fire outbreaks, medical emergencies, hazardous material spills, and even daily safety messages. The collaboration with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey underscores the importance of this initiative in setting new safety standards for large-scale construction projects.
At the core of this system is a base station located in the medical trailer, acting as the central command center. It allows the site safety team to control an LED sign board for instant updates and use a dedicated emergency handset to broadcast urgent messages across all communication towers. Each tower is equipped with a pull pendant, enabling any worker to trigger an alert, with safety personnel receiving immediate notifications to assess the situation.
The New Terminal One at JFK is part of a $19-billion transformation aimed at making it among the top airport terminals globally. The terminal, which will span 2.6-million square feet and feature 23 gates upon completion in 2030, represents a significant investment in the future of air travel. The implementation of SSM's emergency notification systems is a critical component of this project, ensuring the health and safety of over 3,000 personnel involved in its construction.
