Overcoming All Challenges

Despite facing some challenges during the project, Viking Airport Equipment’s team was able to overcome these obstacles and deliver the project on time and within budget. One of the challenges the Viking Airport Equipment team faced was ensuring that the new ULD Roller/Castor decking aligned seamlessly with the existing decking. This required a high level of precision and attention to detail so the new decks, barriers, and staircases could be installed. The team was able to achieve this through careful planning and execution.

Additionally, the Viking team had to work within a tight timeframe to complete the project before the busy Easter weekend. Despite this, the team was able to deliver the project on time and ensure that operations could begin as planned. The successful completion of this project highlights Viking Airport Equipment’s ability to overcome challenges and deliver high-quality airport ground support equipment within tight deadlines.

Our Success

Effective communication was key to Viking Airport Equipment’s successful completion of the project at Stansted Airport, according to the Design Manager on the project. This highlights Viking Airport Equipment’s commitment to understanding its clients’ needs and delivering projects on time.

Viking Airport Equipment’s expertise in designing, manufacturing, and installing airport ground support equipment was showcased in this project. The company’s ability to overcome challenges and meet tight deadlines makes it a trusted partner for airports seeking to improve their ULD handling processes.
