ADB Safegate has been selected by a joint venture (JV) company IGA to perform an airfield ground lighting (AGL) design review at Istanbul New Airport in Turkey.

Under the terms of the deal, ADB Safegate will supply and install 35,000 intelligent LED ground lights that will help power the airfield runways and taxiways, and ensure smooth and safe operations.

In addition, the company will be responsible for delivering and commissioning all visual aids, including transformers, transistor regulators, energy-efficient power solutions, mounting equipment, and approach solutions, such as flashers, PAPI and approach lighting.

The company has proposed to deploy the taxiway system with full switching ability, in addition to the integration of a single and double-channel individual light control and monitoring system (ILCMS).

"Once all phases are complete, the Istanbul New Airport will serve over 200 million passengers annually to more than 350 destinations."

The ILCMS will help control the lights individually or by defined segments, rather than selected circuits, increasing gains in power savings and ensuring easy and cost-effective maintenance.

The deal between IGA and ADB Safegate was signed in September, with deliveries slated to begin this year and continue into 2018.

The JV has been established to develop and operate the new Istanbul airport in four phases.

IGA Airports Construction CEO Yusuf Akçayoglu said: “Once all phases are complete, the Istanbul New Airport will serve over 200 million passengers annually to more than 350 destinations.

“Innovation, efficiency and safety are imperative to ensure that the airport is congestion-free and traffic flows smoothly, even in adverse conditions.

“With ADB Safegate working closely with us right from the design review to implementation, we know that together we can truly deliver seamless and future-proof operations.”

Expected to be the world’s largest airport, Istanbul New Airport will replace the city’s existing Atatürk International Airport.
