Exciting progress is underway in Houston as JWI helps bring 26 new passenger boarding bridges to life as part of the Terminal B Transformation (TBT) program!
JWI is currently serving as the Passenger Boarding Bridge subject matter expert on this program at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston for United Airlines. This effort includes installing passenger boarding bridges to modernize operations and enhance the passenger experience in the brand-new, ground-up Terminal B.
Our involvement spans the full lifecycle of the bridges. From early concept planning and design consultation through factory inspections, manufacturing oversight, acceptance testing, and approval, our team has been deeply embedded to ensure quality and performance. As the bridges moved from production to the field, we supported delivery planning, logistics coordination, on-site receipt and storage, and now full installation and commissioning.
Current Phase: Delivery and Installation
The project is now in the active delivery and installation phase. Six bridges have been delivered to the site, and two have been hung, marking a major milestone for the program. The remaining bridges are being received in a carefully phased sequence, aligned with overall construction progress across the Terminal B Transformation program.
As the additional 20 bridges arrive, JWI is coordinating closely with the broader TBT team to manage logistics, staging, installation sequencing, and integration with adjacent scopes. This disciplined approach ensures each bridge is installed safely, efficiently, and in full alignment with the larger terminal transformation.
Team Recognition
This progress would not be possible without the strong leadership and hands-on execution from our team in Houston.
Josh Worley is leading the effort on-site in Houston each day, ensuring seamless coordination and field execution.
Spencer Furstenberg is providing program-level oversight and strategic support to keep the effort aligned with overall objectives.
Robert J. Gardere, CEM is delivering detailed submittal reviews and quality oversight to maintain high standards from the factory floor to final commissioning.
This project reflects JWI’s commitment to technical excellence, disciplined execution, and partnership with our airline clients. We are excited to continue the momentum as we deliver the remaining bridges and support United Airlines in transforming Terminal B.
