The Cable Connection Awarded LAX Security Cables Contract
The Cable Connection, headquartered in Carson City, NV, has been awarded an order to machine fittings and manufacture cable assemblies to be used in the Bradley West portion of Los Angeles International Airport's Tom Bradley International Terminal.
The new Bradley West 15-gate concourse is specifically designed to accommodate the passengers arriving and departing on the giant new Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A380 airliners. The assemblies, comprised of a combination of The Cable Connection's Ultra-tec® components and custom-machined components, will make up the assemblies being installed overhead along the pathway between plane and customs for security purposes.
The Cable Connection's CEO, Lou, Marino said of the contract, "We worked hard to earn this project. It required a combination of some of our existing Ultra-tec® product line, our ability to custom machine components per the architect's requirements, and our in-house team to design some completely new fittings. It challenged our creativity and ingenuity. We're proud to have been selected, and to be part of one of the biggest public works projects in Los Angeles' history."
The Cable Connection's Ultra-tec® cable railing product line is being specified frequently for use in large projects according to Reed Construction Data, which provides construction project leads throughout North America. In addition to its pre-eminent position with large projects, the company serves multiple market segments right down to retail and DIY.
