As one of the busiest airports in the United States, Boston Logan International Airport plays a pivotal role in connecting Massachusetts and New England to the world. Logan Airport manages impressive passenger traffic, with over 40 airlines offering nonstop flights to more than 100 domestic and international destinations.

By specifying Sloan’s AER-DEC® Integrated Sinks, Logan Airport has taken a significant step toward achieving its sustainability goals while offering high standards of hygiene and efficiency. Together, Sloan and Logan Airport are exemplifying how innovative restroom solutions can address the unique challenges of transportation hubs, ensuring a cleaner, more sustainable, and user-friendly environment for all.

Stress-free Maintenance

Logan Airport’s restrooms are crucial to passenger satisfaction and operational efficiency. Faced with high passenger traffic and stringent hygiene standards, the airport needed innovative solutions to streamline the maintenance process.

Sloan’s AER-DEC Sinks provided the perfect answer through benefits such as:

• Integrated Design: The AER-DEC system combines soap dispensers, faucets, hand dryers, and sink basins into a seamless, touch-free unit, significantly reducing the time required for cleaning and maintenance.
• Minimized Germ-prone Areas: The design of the AER-DEC minimizes crevices and joints where germs and bacteria can accumulate.
• Effortless Upkeep: With features like the easy-to-clean in-trough hidden drain, maintenance staff can quickly and efficiently manage water runoff, keeping the restrooms looking good with less effort.

Sustainable Travels

Sloan’s commitment to sustainability perfectly aligns with Logan Airport’s environmental objectives. Through a series of advanced features and benefits, the AER-DEC Integrated Sinks play a critical role in this effort as well:

• Water Conservation: The AER-DEC Sinks feature integral basins that significantly reduce water usage. This is particularly important for an airport that handles millions of passengers.
• Sensor Activation: Touch-free sensor technology ensures that water flows only when needed, eliminating waste and promoting responsible water use.
• Reduced Paper Towel Usage: With integrated hand dryers, the need for paper towels is eliminated, reducing waste and lowering the airport’s environmental footprint.
• Energy Efficiency: The AER-DEC Sinks are designed to consume less energy, contributing to the airport’s broader sustainability initiatives.

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) serves as a critical hub for Delta Airlines, facilitating over 150 peak-day departures to 55 global destinations. As part of Delta's recent $2.3 billion Sky Way project, significant upgrades were needed for the back-of-house restrooms in Terminal 2, which had remained untouched for nearly two decades. To address these challenges, Delta turned to Sloan for its ability to meet the airline’s standards for sustainability, ease of maintenance, and improved aesthetics.

Maintenance Ready for Takeoff

Delta’s specification of Sloan’s SS-3103 Sinks and EHD-501-ECO Hand Dryers is making the lives of maintenance teams much easier. The SS-3103 Sinks are made of white vitreous china with SloanTec® Hydrophobic Glaze, which inhibits germ growth and minimizes cleaning efforts. Additionally, their wall-mounted design with a self-draining deck area prevents water buildup and reduces maintenance time.

A Sustainable Success

The combination of Sloan’s EAF-275 Faucets, SU-1009 Urinals, and SOLIS® 8186 Flushometers proved pivotal in addressing water consumption concerns in the employee restrooms. The EAF-275 Faucets, equipped with double infrared sensors and automatic self-adapting technology, are actively helping Delta reduce restroom water usage. Additionally, the faucets’ solar power supply with battery backup ensures continuous operation, reducing energy dependency.

The SU-1009 Urinals, featuring the SOLIS 8186 Flushometers, are certified by the EPA WaterSense program, providing efficient water use. In addition, each of these fixtures promote environmental responsibility, aligning with Delta’s sustainability goals.

Upgrades to Aesthetics

The integration of polished chrome finishes across the various fixtures throughout the employee restrooms adds a sleek, uniform look, enhancing the overall visual appeal of the restrooms while improving employee satisfaction. The ST-2459 Water Closets and SOLIS 8111 Flushometers, with their elongated rim and syphon jet flushing system, respectively, provide a modern and hygienic solution as well.
