Scheidt & Bachmann Awarded 2 Airport Contracts

Memphis International recently awarded a contract to Scheidt & Bachmann to replace the existing PARCS system. The overall design of the PARCS was a collaborative effort between the Airport and Scheidt & Bachmann.

Memphis International Airport

The project consists of 13 entry lanes, 18 exit lanes (combination of express exits and cashiered exits), a valet system, pay on foot stations, contract parking only lanes, and a level count system. The PARCS system utilizes a virtualized head-end architecture.

Memphis International Airport is home to the FedEx Express global SuperHub, which processes a significant portion of the freight carrier's packages. Nonstop FedEx destinations from Memphis include scores of cities across the continental U.S. including Anchorage and Honolulu, as well as numerous Canadian, Mexican, and Caribbean cities. Intercontinental service includes Paris, London, Dubai, Frankfurt, Sao Paulo, Shanghai, and Tokyo. From 1993 to 2009, Memphis had the largest cargo operations by volume of any airport worldwide.

Scheidt & Bachmann has also been awarded the contract to replace the existing PARCS system at Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
