From large, expansive airport engineering projects, including internationally in the Dominican Republic and Brazil, to local, municipal airports in Peachtree City, Ga. and Madison, Ga., Erwin honed his technical skills and adaptability to manage aerospace projects of any size.
“Having worked with a wide variety of clients in a wide variety of locations, I’ve developed skills ranging from conceptual planning, to program management, to detailed engineering design, along with the flexibility and adaptability of construction management of large and small projects,” he explained.
“Kris brings with him great depth of experience, and he’s got such a versatile background in aviation, that we just knew he was the perfect fit for our thriving aviation team,” said Tim Fredlund, principal and program manager of Pond’s aerospace program. “I feel confident that he’s going to help lead our aerospace program to sustained growth into the future,” he added.
Erwin is enthusiastic about being be part of the Pond team and has hit the ground running on expanding Pond’s Aerospace division.
“With Pond it’s all about quality. Quality of the work, quality of the outstanding personnel, and quality of life,” said Erwin.
“My goal is to work with my team to expand our focus areas, and improve our market share and client footprint, with a long-term goal of being an integral part of our clients’ development, all the while delivering a quality product.”
Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
