Following a successful trial period at airports around the world, a cloud-based platform, known as Pavy, has been launched by Jacobs to enable effective asset management of airfields.
With the need to adapt to the impact of COVID-19, airport operators are looking for smarter ways to make strategic, cost-efficient decisions about their most important airfield assets. Pavy is a customisable platform that puts the airport in control, enabling it to make data-led decisions about airfield investment.
The principles behind Pavy were originally conceived in response to Heathrow Airport commissioning a team of Jacobs specialists to create a solution to manage its 4 million square metres of airfield pavements.
“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 prioritise critical interventions,” he continued.
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 five-year periods, Pavy provides a strategic decision enabler by connecting engineering and finance teams to help balance costs, risk and performance.
