NEW YORK, NY and CHADDS FORD, PA – Arora Engineers (Arora), a leading minority-owned engineering, construction, and asset management firm headquartered in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and JFK Millennium Partners, (JMP), the company selected by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey to build and operate the new $4.2 billion JFK Terminal 6, (T6) announced that Arora will implement IBM’s renowned Maximo Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software and the Arora ATLAS suite of mobile products for T6, which is currently under construction in Queens, NY. Arora is leading T6’s fire protection, plumbing, special systems and airfield/airside electrical engineering services as well as supporting the team with master systems integration services for low voltage and IT systems.

From work order management and scheduling to planning and inventory management, Arora’s technology solutions will optimize the Terminal’s performance, extend asset lifecycles, and reduce downtime and costs, resulting in a more streamlined, safe, and digital-led passenger experience.
“Arora is thrilled to be a part of the lifecycle of this critical gateway to the region, from leading design and construction services to providing asset management and mobility services at JFK Terminal 6, we could not be more excited to work with Steve Thody and his team on this impactful project” said Manik Arora, President & CEO of Arora Engineers. “Our expertise in engineering and asset management, coupled with our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology, will enable us to deliver a world-class solution that meets the evolving needs of terminal operators and passengers alike.”
