Exceeds Standards and Expectations

The BHS/EDS system designed by VTC and installed at the Houston Hobby Airport performs with a throughput that far exceeds TSA standards and an error rate at or below the national average. This system is also designed to be easy and cost effective to maintain.

VTC Phased The Project So [RSW] Remained Operational

[Their] attention to detail and understanding of our operations carried through to design and construction. This was especially evident in the way VTC phased the project so that [RSW] remained operational throughout construction, and was all the more remarkable given the fact that much of the work occurred during our peak season.
