Colorado-based Industrial Constructors/Managers Inc. (ICM) has secured a $12 million contract to enhance the baggage handling system for American Airlines at Chicago O'Hare Airport's third terminal. The equipment for this project will be provided by Daifuku, known for its baggage handling systems.

The project involves preparatory tasks for a larger installation, following ICM's completion of related work in fall 2024. This previous phase included removing 3,738 feet of conveyor systems to facilitate the expansion of baggage claim areas.

This spring, ICM plans to install four new flat-plate baggage claim carousels, along with 14,361 feet of conveyor systems and 4,697 feet of catwalks and handrails. This will allow the expansion of makeup units to include 22 new units for sorting bags.

Jamie Hodges, executive vice president at ICM, commented on the project's significance: “The airlines are trying to keep up with increasing consumer demand for travel, which translates all the way down to the expansion of baggage handling systems to better accommodate increased passenger traffic.” He added that using Daifuku’s equipment would significantly enhance efficiency for travelers and airport staff.

ICM will employ around 25 people throughout this project. The workforce will include millwrights, journeymen, and apprentices from local Chicago unions. Some labor will come from economically disadvantaged areas identified through these unions. ICM is also sponsoring new apprentices from these areas to provide employment opportunities.

John Blakemore, vice president of airport operations at Daifuku, explained their choice: “We chose ICM for this project due to their extensive experience overhauling baggage handling systems, particularly at Denver International Airport.” He praised ICM's early completion of enabling tasks and expressed anticipation for working together on the upcoming installation.
