Why Traditional Consoles Can’t Keep Pace with ATC Demands
Air traffic control towers face unique demands that generic control room consoles cannot meet. Purpose built ATC tower consoles are essential for safe, compliant, and efficient operations.
Traffic growth and compliance: Controllers must handle rising flight volumes under strict regulatory standards, which require mission critical ATC consoles designed for reliability.
Operator fatigue: Poor ergonomics during long shifts reduce alertness and slow response times. Ergonomic ATC tower consoles improve operator comfort and sustain performance.
Outdated layouts: Limited sightlines and collaboration issues compromise efficiency and safety. Purpose built air traffic control consoles ensure clear visibility and optimized workflows.
System integration: Towers require seamless connections to radar, maps, communications, surveillance, and flight management systems. Generic furniture cannot accommodate this complexity, but Evans ATC tower workstations are designed for full integration.
Upgrade risks: Legacy systems often demand shutdowns, but zero downtime live cutover installations allow towers to remain fully operational during upgrades
Consoles Designed for Towers, Not Generic Control Rooms
Evans air traffic control tower consoles are engineered for the unique footprint of ATC environments. These mission critical ATC workstations feature ergonomic layouts built around reach zones, adjustable monitor heights, and clear sightlines to both equipment and the airfield. Modular components adapt to single or multi-controller workflows without wasted space, supporting the performance of today’s and tomorrow’s ATC operations.
A Proven Backbone with Over Two Decades in Service
Slatwall consoles have anchored tower operations worldwide for more than twenty years. Evans continues to support these proven systems with updated mounts and accessories for modern surveillance, communications, and flight management equipment. This approach extends the life of existing air traffic control console investments while meeting evolving regulatory requirements.
Upgrades Without Downtime or Risk
Evans’ zero downtime live cutover installation process allows new consoles to be deployed while the tower remains fully operational. Controllers maintain capacity throughout the upgrade, eliminating the risk of service gaps in mission critical ATC environments.
Full Integration of Critical ATC Systems
Radar, communications, surveillance, and flight management tools all fit within a single compliant workspace. Evans ATC tower consoles are designed with purpose-built routing and enclosures that eliminate clutter, ensure cooling and power distribution, and keep the environment audit ready.
For more than twenty years, Evans Slatwall Consoles have played a central role in tower operations across the globe. Their strength lies in adaptability. The vertical mounting system creates a flexible backbone for integrating evolving ATC technologies, from surveillance screens to digital communications panels.
Many towers continue to rely on Slatwall because it delivers consistency and durability. Evans supports these installations with an evolving catalog of mounts and hardware that allow controllers to adopt new tools without reconfiguring the entire workspace. This approach helps extend the service life of existing control rooms, protecting investments while keeping operations fully compliant with modern standards.
ATC Slatwall Consoles remain trusted by authorities who need a reliable platform that adapts gracefully to change. They exemplify Evans’ long-term commitment to lifecycle support in mission critical environments.
Evans ATC Tower Consoles represent the next generation of controller workspaces. Designed specifically for the unique demands of towers, they prioritize ergonomics, operator awareness, and seamless integration of mission critical systems.
Each console is tailored to the tower it serves. Evans designs account for sightlines to the airfield, the reach requirements of controllers, and the spatial constraints of the cab. Adjustable work surfaces, optimized monitor placement, and modular layouts help reduce fatigue and improve coordination in environments where every second counts.
Integration is engineered into the structure. Radar, communications, flight management, and surveillance technologies all fit within a clean, compliant workspace. With Evans’ live cutover process, towers transition to new consoles while remaining fully operational, eliminating the risk of downtime.
ATC Tower Consoles are built to anticipate the future. As technologies advance and regulations evolve, they scale without costly rebuilds, giving aviation authorities confidence that their infrastructure will support safe and efficient operations for decades.
For more than 45 years Evans has specialized in mission critical control environments, with air traffic control as one of our longest standing specialties. Our ATC tower consoles are deployed in towers across North America, Europe, and the Middle East, supporting the world’s busiest and most complex airspaces.
Authorities and integrators including the FAA, Leidos, SAAB, Collins, RTX, and Thales have partnered with Evans to deliver compliant and future ready air traffic control console solutions. Independent validation such as the Leidos three dimensional walkthrough further demonstrates how Evans ATC console designs integrate seamlessly into real tower environments.
Delivering consoles into an active tower is not a furniture project. It is a mission critical operation where safety, compliance, and uptime are non-negotiable. Evans is trusted because we manage every stage with the same discipline that controllers bring to their jobs.
Consulting
Every project begins with a deep dive into tower operations. Evans consultants sit with controllers, managers, and stakeholders to map requirements, compliance obligations, and site constraints. Nothing moves forward until we know exactly how the tower runs.
Architectural Design
Our architects design spaces that keep controllers sharp and focused. Ergonomics, reach zones, sightlines, and cab geometry are modeled to match each tower’s unique footprint. The result is a workspace where equipment, visibility, and operator performance are in perfect alignment.
Construction
Evans oversees the build with the same precision we apply to our consoles. We coordinate with contractors, integrators, and aviation authorities to ensure the tower infrastructure supports safe and compliant operations without surprises.
Consoles
The centerpiece of every project is the console itself. Evans delivers both modern ATC tower consoles and proven Slatwall platforms engineered for twenty four seven use. Each installation is purpose built for mission critical performance and built to last decades.
AV and Technology Integration
Radar, communications, surveillance, and flight management systems are not afterthoughts. Evans engineers integration into the structure of every console so equipment fits seamlessly, cable routing is organized, and the environment stays audit ready.
EvansCare
Our role does not end at installation. EvansCare provides proactive lifecycle support, preventative maintenance, and compliance assurance. Towers remain fully operational without downtime and aviation authorities gain confidence that their infrastructure is always inspection ready.
Evans does not hand over a piece of furniture. We deliver a complete framework for sustaining mission critical ATC performance today and for the next generation of controllers.
Where ATC Trusts, Evans Delivers
Every tower is different. Evans is ready to build the console solution designed for yours.
