Bell Flight Manufacturing Technology Center
5401 Sandshell Dr. Fort Worth, 76137
Project Description
The MTC is an innovative proving ground where Bell will test and refine technologies and processes—demonstrating manufacturing readiness and ability to successfully build and support Future Vertical Lift (FVL) aircraft. The facility provides capabilities that span all of Bell’s core manufacturing of rotor and drive systems, critical infrastructure and final assembly. Digital connectivity and integration form the backbone of the MTC. Every inch of the facility will be monitored and controlled by a network of IT, Internet of Things (IoT) and cybersecurity systems that manage the inflow and outflow of materials, as well as the movement of activity throughout the factory.
VMG was hired to support the permitting, entitlements, rezoning, and construction management of this 140,000 sf next generation state-of-the-art-factory and office. VMG also closely coordinated the installation of highly specialized and technical infrastructure in order to accommodate the installation of the some of the most advanced aviation manufacturing equipment in the world.
