BridgeNet International

BridgeNet International is an aviation consulting firm in Newport Beach, California. It is a Tetra Tech company. It serves airports, air navigation service providers and partners around the world. It builds technology for aircraft noise and airspace problems and turns technical findings into plain material for the public.

Airport consulting is at the core of the work. The firm's staff have provided noise and acoustic consulting for nearly 30 years, for everything from small general aviation fields to large hub airports. The team includes acoustic, community outreach, NEPA and CEQA experts. Services include NEPA and CEQA support, federal noise studies, Fly Quiet programs, on-call acoustic services, noise monitoring and management systems, aircraft noise modeling and community outreach.

Volans is its 3D visualization software for analyzing aircraft operations and flight procedures. Users study noise effects near airports, help design new departure and arrival procedures, run air safety studies, make videos for education and outreach, and review airspace limits and obstructions. Clients include major airports worldwide and the Federal Aviation Administration, Nav Canada and Air Services Australia. VolansWeb, a 3D virtual room, the Fly Quiet Toolkit and custom websites and apps complete the product list.

BridgeNet also produces live virtual public meetings and events for aviation clients. It reports more than 30 high-profile events. The meetings combine web content and video, with live questions and answers, breakout rooms and live language translation. The firm says its approach has met legal review on several major federal NEPA projects for the FAA. Its team includes trained public speakers, pilots, former noise officers, and IT and acoustic experts.

In sustainability, the firm analyzes greenhouse gas emissions and air quality with the FAA's Aviation Environmental Design Tool. It also builds historic and real-time reporting dashboards for airports of all sizes, for internal and public websites. It makes custom report tools for airports, government agencies and air navigation service providers that analyze noise and emissions of current and proposed operations.
