Argus has provided multiple hydrant system design projects at JFK through the years. In all cases, additions to the existing hydrant systems were made to provide additional gates and reconfigure existing aircraft parking positions.

Working Together
Working with the NYNJPA and the Airlines, the aircraft parking positions were established based upon the mix of aircraft anticipated. Design and Construction Documents were produced integrating pre-purchased equipment to expedite construction and minimize gate closure time.

Managing Time Issues
To minimize gate closure times, Argus developed a design that would reduce the amount of aircraft apron to be removed as well as the hydrant system piping to minimize the length between the main fuel header and the new hydrant pit location.
