Honeywell has been awarded a $37-million project to build and provide ongoing service and maintenance on a power facility for Airbus’ new assembly site in Mobile, Ala. This is the aviation company’s first aircraft manufacturing operation in the U.S., and Honeywell will lead the design and construction of the facility, which will control the distribution of utilities — electricity, water, heating, and cooling — serving the campus and Airbus’ production and energy efficiency requirements.
In addition, Honeywell will manage and maintain the facility through a 10-year service agreement. Five operators will provide day-to-day support, and Honeywell will monitor all equipment remotely to identify potential equipment issues and dispatch technicians to minimize disruptions to Airbus operations.
