Pond provided hydrant system modifications and new hydrant pits for the Airbus A380 at LAX. Projects included:
- Positioning the new hydrant pit locations to operate with the different aircrafts that will also utilize the A380 gate.
- Adding new hydrant pits on both sides of the aircraft to minimize refueling and overall turn around time.
- Reworking the twin 12” supply lines allowing redundant capability from the hydrant system if maintenance is needed on one of the lines.
