Airport infrastructure for the Caribbean and South America
Fuel farms, hydrant systems, terminals and hangars — with a Caribbean presence and support in English and Spanish.
Airports that operate in demanding conditions
Airports in the Caribbean and South America contend with tropical heat, salt air, hurricane seasons, altitude and long supply chains. SSSI combines its experience in the region with its technical and logistics base in Canada to deliver infrastructure that performs in those conditions.
We work with airport authorities, concessionaires, fuel operators, airlines, air forces and general contractors — as an equipment supplier, as a specialist subcontractor, or managing the complete package.
