Solutions · transit

Millions of passengers depend on systems that run 24/7.
There is no off-season for transit infrastructure.

Airports and transit systems run at a scale where one baggage conveyor failure delays thousands, and a terminal HVAC outage triggers federal complaints. We help transit operators map dependencies, score risk, and plan spending across sprawling, bond-funded infrastructure.

Transit infrastructure operates at a different scale

24/7 operations, public accountability, federal oversight, and multi-decade capital horizons. The combination creates a facilities challenge unlike any other sector.

2.8B

US airports processed 2.8 billion passengers last year. Every one expects the systems to work.

Baggage handling, people movers, terminal HVAC, and jet bridges form interconnected dependency chains. A single point failure ripples through passenger flow for hours.

480K

A large hub terminal may have 480,000+ sq ft of conditioned space per concourse

HVAC at this scale means chilled water plants, air handlers the size of shipping containers, and distribution networks spanning miles of ductwork. All needing simultaneous availability.

FAA

Runway electrical systems fall under FAA maintenance requirements with strict compliance windows

Airfield lighting, signage, and navigational aids must be maintained within regulatory windows. Documentation gaps trigger audit findings that can affect airport certification.

30yr

Spending horizons for transit infrastructure stretch 20 to 30 years

Bond-funded programs require facilities teams to project conditions decades into the future. With enough rigor to survive public scrutiny and rating agency review.

How Rivolq helps
airports and transit agencies

Dependency chains

Map the full chain from utility entrance to passenger experience

Baggage depends on electrical distribution, which depends on switchgear, which depends on utility feeds. We map those chains so a risk score on one component surfaces impact across the entire terminal.

Multi-terminal risk

Score and compare risk across terminals, concourses, and stations

Different terminals were built in different decades with different systems. We normalize condition data so you can compare Terminal A from 1978 against Terminal D from 2012 on the same scale.

Bond planning

Build 20-year plans that survive bond counsel and rating agency review

Projected replacement timelines, cost escalation models, and condition forecasts that support bond issuance documentation and investor presentations.

FAA compliance

Inspection-ready documentation for airfield and terminal systems

Track FAA-regulated systems alongside standard building infrastructure in one place. Compliance documentation stays current and audit-ready.

Infrastructure that moves millions deserves better visibility.

Manage infrastructure at scale with dependency awareness, standardized scoring, and planning tools built for public accountability.
