Enterprise Software Analyst

Trimble gains validation in airport infrastructure market with San Diego International contract, showcasing GIS-integrated asset management capabilities.

This contract represents a strategic win for Trimble's Unity Maintain enterprise asset management system at San Diego International Airport, the third busiest airport in California. The implementation leverages integration with the ESRI ArcGIS platform, allowing the airport to utilize existing GIS data to improve operational efficiency and asset performance.

The comprehensive scope includes implementation, configuration, training, maintenance, and technical support services to be delivered by Woolpert. This highlights Trimble's partner-led implementation approach for complex enterprise solutions.

Particularly noteworthy is the system's support for Part 139 Inspection Reporting and Safety Management System best practices - critical components for airport regulatory compliance with FAA requirements. The geospatial foundation of Trimble's solution appears to be a key differentiator, with Woolpert's program director noting an industry trend toward "establishing geospatial-based systems as the asset registries of record for all phases of the asset lifecycle."

While financial terms weren't disclosed, securing a major airport provides Trimble with a reference customer in critical infrastructure, potentially strengthening its position in this vertical market. The ongoing maintenance and support components suggest relationship value beyond initial implementation.

Infrastructure Technology Expert

San Diego Airport's adoption of GIS-based asset management reflects critical infrastructure's increasing need for integrated maintenance systems.

San Diego International Airport's selection of Trimble Unity Maintain illustrates the growing importance of sophisticated asset management systems for critical infrastructure operations. By building on the airport's existing ESRI ArcGIS platform, this implementation aims to create a seamless integration between geospatial data and maintenance workflows.

For airports, asset management isn't merely about efficiency—it's fundamental to safety and regulatory compliance. The press release specifically highlights support for Part 139 Inspection Reporting, which refers to the FAA's stringent requirements for commercial airport certification and safety inspections. These inspections cover everything from pavement conditions to lighting systems and safety areas.

The comprehensive approach described by Woolpert focuses on "establishing a centralized, integrated and efficient computerized maintenance management system." This suggests the airport is moving away from siloed maintenance tracking toward an enterprise-wide approach with geospatial components at its core.

Woolpert's mention of "optimized GIS, reduction of systems overlap, simple yet powerful workflows and staff training" indicates the implementation will address common challenges in enterprise asset management: data fragmentation, system redundancy, and user adoption. For infrastructure operations like airports, these improvements can translate to more predictable maintenance schedules, better resource allocation, and enhanced regulatory compliance documentation.

Built on the ESRI ArcGIS^® platform, the computerized asset management system solution will help streamline maintenance for the third busiest airport in California.

SAN DIEGO, May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority has selected Woolpert to implement the Trimble Unity Maintain™ enterprise asset management system for San Diego International Airport (SAN).

Under the contract, Woolpert will provide implementation, configuration, training, maintenance, and technical support services. The system will use the airport's existing GIS data to improve operational efficiency and asset performance, and support Part 139 Inspection Reporting and Safety Management System best practices.

"We will be significantly streamlining San Diego International Airport's asset information management by utilizing their existing GIS system to seed Trimble Unity Maintain with the necessary information to support operations and maintenance," Woolpert Program Director of Technology Services Scott Yates said. "Our approach will align the project delivery with the San Diego International Airport's enterprise vision for establishing a centralized, integrated and efficient computerized maintenance management system, while ensuring that the building blocks for success—optimized GIS, reduction of systems overlap, simple yet powerful workflows and staff training—are in place."

Yates added that the contract validates a larger industry trend in asset management recognizing the importance of establishing geospatial-based systems as the asset registries of record for all phases of the asset lifecycle.

"We believe the Trimble and Esri solution is exactly what airports need, and we are thrilled that San Diego shares this outlook," Woolpert Technology Services Director Jen Kouns said. "We are eager to begin this project, delve into the details and help San Diego International Airport realize this vision."
