Modifications to the ALCMS to allow the integration of the new IAA Control Tower into the Airfield Lighting Control and Monitoring system including integrating the existing A-SMGCS system and the new IRVR equipment.

Phase 2

Modifications to the ALCMS to allow the integration of the replacement airfield Substation T fitted with series communication controlled and monitored CCR’s.

Phase 3

Modifications to the ALCMS to allow the integration of the new substations associated with the new Northern Parallel Runway development.

Contract Lot 2

Design and implementation of an ILCMS system. Initially comprising a trial installation to be monitored and assessed over a period of time, the overall plan is to rollout the implementation of ILCMS as the ALCMS phases outlined above are executed.

Contracted by Dublin Airport Authority (daa) as the Principal Consultants to produce a roadmap for the development strategy of the Dublin Airport ALCMS to meet the requirements of current airfield developments including a new IAA Control Tower and the new Northern Parallel Runway. The strategy also had to include the future proofing of the system for possible future development to a higher level of A-SMGCS or a Follow-the-Green type system.
