ALSTOM :: Power sector - aviation lighting

The Power Sector of ALSTOM has been involved in aviation lighting for 75 years and has equipped many hundreds of airports, airfields and other locations all over the world. With vast experience in the design, supply, installation and commissioning of equipment for airports, ALSTOM is qualified to meet the operational requirements of all airports.

ALSTOM offers an extensive product range which includes approach, threshold, PAPI, runway and taxiway lighting and associated equipment such as constant current regulators, Surface Movement Guidance Control Systems (SMGCS), isolating transformers and connector kits, mounting systems and other miscellaneous airfield items.

As market leader in control system technology, ALSTOM is able to meet the needs of all airports providing solutions from simple relay logic through to full SMGCS systems.

SmartControl is the most advanced control system to be offered by ALSTOM. Launched in 1997, it is already operational at many UK and overseas airports, including London Heathrow, London Gatwick, London Luton, Isle of Man, Ashgabat in Turkmenistan and Heraklion in Crete. Recent contract wins for the system include Edinburgh, Aberdeen and London City Airports.

ALSTOM's lighting expertise is not only limited to airports and airfields. For over 25 years ALSTOM has also supplied equipment to over 25 navies worldwide. Fully engineered systems of helicopter landing and servicing aids can be offered for aircraft carriers, frigates, corvettes, OPVs, oil rigs and other naval and commercial vessels.

A full range of obstacle lighting is also available for use on structures such as chimneys, discharge towers, radio and television towers, bridges, high-rise buildings and for offshore oil platforms.

Roadway/In-pavement lighting is another application to which ALSTOM's product range has been adapted. Visual guidance can be provided for vehicles in areas of high volume traffic or hazardous access routes thereby reducing the potential for accidents.

The complete range of ALSTOM lighting complies with ICAO standards, FAA Advisory Circulars, BS3224 and UK CAA regulation CAP 168.
