ADB SAFEGATE to manage safety, reliability of apron operations at Saudi airport
ADB SAFEGATE has signed a EUR5.5 million (US$6.348 million) agreement to support the operational efficiency at King Khalid International Airport (KKIA) in Riyadh.
The company called in by Saudi Arabian Trading & Construction Company (SATCO) after KKIA was found facing many operational challenges.
"Issues such as delayed and manual docking, irregularity in operations and coordination were affecting the entire airport ecosystem, said senior VP, airports systems division, SATCO, Jose Jamhouri.
This, in turn, had translated to excessive operational costs such as burning of excessive fuel, noise pollution, delays in disembarking passengers from arriving aircraft to gate reassignments. ADB SAFEGATE has always been a reliable partner and offered us an end-to-end solution to address the growing challenges."
To resolve KKIA's issues, ADB SAFEGATE will deliver its gate systems 'Safedock' and advanced-visual docking guidance system (A-VDGS) and SafeControl Apron Management (SAM). SAM will be the key system of the operation as it will monitor, manage, automate and collect all available data to help plan activities on the apron.
Additionally, a new, state-of-the art airfield lighting control and monitoring system (ALCMS), individual light control and monitoring system (ILCMS) and air traffic control systems will be implemented in due course.
These systems will be installed and integrated together with the addressable LED airfield ground lighting solution that has already been successfully delivered.
The first phase of the project will commence in August and will include data collection and distribution, centralisation of operations and the provision of accurate, comprehensive billing services to airlines. It will enable higher revenues and profits with increased safety and efficiency of the overall operation and most importantly, the ability to continuously expand in terms of size and functionalities.
"At ADB SAFEGATE we strive to deliver innovative solutions and services that help airports to effectively meet the demands of rapidly growing air and ground traffic. Our partnership with SATCO and KKIA has been a long-standing one. This project is in keeping with our vision to make airports more safe, efficient and sustainable and our automated gate solutions will ensure King Khalid International Airport enjoys these benefits," said GM, Saudi, ADB SAFEGATE, Jamil Atallah.
