SINGAPORE, Feb. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell
(NYSE: HON) today announced a multi-million dollar,
multi-year contract to implement a new airfield ground lighting
control and monitoring system at Singapore Changi Airport,
Southeast Asia's busiest hub and
one of the most frequented airports in the world. The Honeywell
system will play a critical role in helping Changi Airport safely
and efficiently accommodate the expected increase in aircraft
traffic.
The project is part of expansion efforts at Changi Airport,
which include the development of a three-runway system. The new
Honeywell system will cover all three runways and associated
taxiways, taxi lanes and apron lighting as well as facility control
and management. Helping streamline operations and optimize ground
traffic flow, Honeywell's advanced Individual Lamp Control and
Monitoring System will allow the airport to get real-time
information on approach and runway lighting lamp failures,
including the precise location to facilitate fast response and
repair.
"Since its opening in 1981, Changi Airport has been recognized
for ensuring safety in its airfield," said Koh Ming Sue, managing director, engineering
& development of Changi Airport Group. "The new Honeywell
airfield lighting control and monitoring system serves as an
important cog in our broader expansion plans to help upkeep our
safety and efficiency performance even as air traffic demand grows
beyond the capacity of our existing two runways."
"We are excited to have been chosen by Changi Airport Group and
look forward to working with them to maintain the airport's high
safety and efficiency record," said Raghu Seelamonthula, market
director of Airport Systems, Honeywell Building Solutions.
"Airfield ground lighting, as a visual aid for landing and taxiing,
is an important element of an airport's equipment. Honeywell's
airfield lighting control and monitoring have proven to be highly
reliable with equally high availability rates in operations
throughout the globe."
Lighting installations for approaches, runways, taxiways, and
aprons enable pilots to navigate the complex surface layouts of
modern airports. Honeywell's computerized control and monitoring
system facilitates the operation and observation of these lighting
installations, and ensures that safety requirements are met. This
system provides workstations for tower and technical personnel to
simplify daily operational processes and optimize maintenance
activities.
Honeywell designs, manufactures and installs complete airfield
ground lighting systems for airports. The systems range from
individual lighting units to series circuit transformers and power
supply systems to control and monitoring systems, including single
lamp control and monitoring, routing systems, aircraft docking
systems, and surface movement guidance systems.
