DALLAS, Nov. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs
(NYSE:J) has developed a new proprietary cloud-based platform that
enables effective asset management of airfields. After a successful
trial period with airports around the world, https://pavy.io/ Pavy
is being launched to reinvent the way airports manage airfield
pavements.
Airfield pavements are complex and extensive, and understanding
how they perform is key to planning investment. Now more than ever,
with the need to adapt to COVID-19 impacts, airport operators are
looking for smarter ways to make strategic, cost-efficient
decisions about their most important airfield assets. Built on the
insight and experience of a network of aviation and asset
management professionals at Jacobs, Pavy is a customizable platform
that puts the airport in control, enabling strategic, data-led
decisions about airfield investment.
The asset management principles behind Pavy were originally
conceived when Heathrow Airport, one of the world's busiest
airports, commissioned a team of Jacobs specialists to create a
solution to manage its 4 million square meters of airfield
pavement.
"We work every day to tackle our clients' toughest challenges,
and airfield asset management is a recurring issue in the aviation
industry; even more so now, as operators look for more agile ways
to manage their operations effectively in response to COVID-19,"
said Jacobs People & Places Solutions Senior Vice President
Europe and Digital Strategies Donald Morrison. "With Pavy, our new
cloud-based platform, airports around the globe can better plan
pavement investments and prioritize critical interventions."
"The Pavy Solution developed by Jacobs, was born from the Asset
Management principles conceived by Heathrow Airport Limited," said
Heathrow Airport Senior Engineer Louise
Batts. "Jacobs has embraced these principles to create a
clear visual platform, utilizing some of the functionality from
Heathrow's Decision Support Tool and making it applicable to all
airports, whatever their size."
Batts continued: "Pavy, along with Jacobs' consultation support,
aims to provide optimized CapEx spend profiles, client decision
support and contribute in future airfield pavement planning.
Immediate feedback and basic scenario forecasting combined with
visual plans, gives Pavy an opportunity to change the field of
Airfield Pavement Asset Management. The work Jacobs has done here,
and the future of Pavy is really exciting."
Pavy enables airports to harness the power of their data to
build stronger business cases for additional funding requests. By
showing where investment will be needed over 5-year periods, Pavy
provides a strategic decision enabler by connecting
engineering and finance teams to help balance costs, risk and
performance. For more information about Pavy, watch the video
