With increased air traffic and security/safety measures, modernization of our airports is essential to keep people moving freely and on time. Chicago, known for its busy airports, is a major hub for airline travel and shipments. From runway work to public areas, from signage to security systems, Divane Bros. Electric Co. is at the core of the modernization and traffic flow of Chicagoland and Indiana airports.

O'Hare Field

Divane Bros. Electric Co. assisted in the design and implemented the FAA required security guidelines for the airside/landside access system. Divane Bros. Electric Co. installed miles of excavated duct, power and fiber optic cable as well as card readers, CCTV cameras, security sensors to all doors, portals, and gates permitting access from the public areas to the airside operations area. Divane Bros. Electric Co. also assisted in the construction of a Taut Wire Perimeter Detection System, which spans almost 30,000 feet of O'Hare's West and Northwest perimeters. This system detects, alerts, and pinpoints potential intruders along the airport's less traveled areas.
