GMR Hyderabad International Airport (GHIAL), which operates\nRajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA), has engaged ADB SAFEGATE to upgrade\nthe primary runway from CAT-I to CAT-II and the secondary runway from simple\napproach to CAT-I. A major part of the project entails modification of the\nairport’s airfield ground lighting (AGL) system that predominantly comprises\nhalogen lights to RELIANCE LED intelligent lights. RELIANCE intelligent lights\nfrom ADB SAFEGATE have a unique, intelligence feature that allows for easy\nindividual lamp monitoring and control to guide the pilot from landing to\ntake-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ADB SAFEGATE is already involved in the AGL expansion of\nRGIA’s taxiways with construction conglomerate, Larsen & Toubro. With this\nnew deal, ADB SAFEGATE will upgrade the airport’s runways and associated\nAirfield Lighting Control and Monitoring System (ALCMS) and Individual Lamp\nControl and Monitoring System (ILCMS). The GHIAL project also includes scope\nfor comprehensive maintenance of the AGL system for the next 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SGK Kishore, CEO, GHIAL said \u201cRGIA has experienced\nunprecedented growth over the past few years and we have been among the fastest\ngrowing major airports globally. We have embarked on a large scale capacity\nexpansion project to more than double our annual passenger handling capacity\nand upgrade our key systems. When it came to upgrading our AGL systems, we\nchose ADB SAFEGATE based on the strength of their offerings and the long\npartnership we have had with them since the inception of our airport over a\ndecade ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Our relationship with RGIA spans more than a decade\nwhen we first supplied our AGL and Safedock Advanced Visual Docking Guidance\nSystem (A-VDGS) solutions in 2007. In\n2017, while executing a project for the replacement of 800 taxiway lights, we\nwere able to convince the airport of the benefits of moving from halogen to our\nrange of LED lights. Now, when the airport is looking to upgrade both runways,\nthe benefits of making a complete transition to our industry leading range of\nLED lights were clear,” added Henrik Linderberth, Chief Customer Officer,\nADB SAFEGATE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
RELIANCE LED intelligent lights have very low protrusion, no\nnegative slope and are optimized for easy handling. Because of the built-in\nintelligence, the airport does not need to invest separately on individual\nswitching devices for each light which saves costs and enables easy integration\nwith the ALCMS and ILCMS. These lights\nare also backward compatible which means they will fit into existing bases. In\naddition to the energy and cost gains of moving to LED lights, the airport will\nenjoy the benefits of lower maintenance and most importantly, greater safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
