LGP will design, build, operate and maintain the Central Terminal B facility. It is a private consortium of airport experts, including SWJV.
SWJV project manager Bob Cranston said: “ADB Safegate has immense credibility in delivery of turnkey projects and their expertise in the gate area was a deciding factor to bring them on board this project.”
Under the contract, ADB Safegate will automate aircraft docking at the new terminal by installing 38 Safedock T1 A-VDGS and SAM, which will enable it to provide consistent performance during normal or adverse conditions.
SAM will be integrated with the Airport Operational Database (AODB) and a building management system (BMS). It will use the A-VDGS as intelligent sensors at each gate to provide the airport with real-time flight information, gate status and turn progress.
