PROJECT KEY FACTS
Airport: Military Air Base
Location: North Africa
Application: Military airport located in African desert
Runway: two runways of 3.000 m
Solution: Solar LED Airfield Lighting System
Products: Solar Runway Lights, Solar Threshold End Lights, Solar Taxiway Lights, PAPI, WDI, Taxiway Retro Reflective Markers, Guidance Signs, UR-201 Control & Monitoring Unit
Year of Installation: 2015
OVERVIEW
SOLUTION
CHALLENGE
In 2015 S4GA has been contacted by local African construction companyplanning to install airfield lighting at military airbase. Customer consideredconventional lighting however has very little experience in area of airfieldlighting.
Scope of work was: to illuminate 3.000 m runway and parallel taxiway thatwas used by air forces as secondary runway.
Alternative solution for this airfield was either using diesel generator or solar airfield lighting.
S4GA offered solar LED airfield lighting system that requires neitherelectrical power supply nor building a complex power supply network(CCRs, transformers, cables, etc.). In North Africa where photovoltaicpotential is one of the highest on the planet, S4GA solar AGL operates 365 days a year on solar energy.
Offered solar system requires minimum maintenance – End Customer is expected to exchange batteries once in 2-3 years – which is equal to lessthan 1% of AGL system total cost.
Installation and commissioning of a complete runway lighting has lastedless than 4 weeks. In case of traditional wired system, it would take fewmonths at least.
The airport was equipped with old airfield lighting system that was partiallyvandalized and did not work properly. Airbase power supply was unreliableand based 100% on power generator. The solution was to install newairfield ground lighting.
However, the main issue that made almost impossible to use hard-wiredrunway lighting was lack of main electrical power supply as airport is located in a desert.
