Wipro Lighting – C&I |Case Study – Bangalore International Airport Limited 1

Case Study: Bangalore International Airport Limited.

Project Brief:

The Bangalore International airport is a shining example of new wave of Greenfield airport

development in India. The airport is located 4 kilometres south of Devanahalli and is 40 kilometres

from Bangalore city. It replaced the private HAL airport which was being used earlier as a passenger

airport. For the financial year 2011–12, it was the 4th airport in the country in terms of overall

passenger traffic of 12.69 million and 5th in terms of international passenger traffic. Known for its

world class facilities, it has been awarded "India's best airport" for the year 2011 by one of the

surveys.

The airport project started as a public-private joint venture between Germany's Siemens Project

Ventures GmbH, Government of Karnataka and Airports Authority of India (AAI). Construction of the

airport began in July 2005. The new airport was originally planned to accommodate 3.5 million

passengers a year, but this was redesigned to handle 12 million passengers per year. The redesign

resulted in an increase in the size of the terminal, number of aircraft stands, new taxiway layouts

and supporting infrastructure.

The airport handled about 12.6 million passengers and had air traffic movements of about 330 per

day in the year 2011. The airport is expected to handle 18 million passengers in the year 2015. It is

host to 10 domestic airlines and 21 international airlines connecting the city to about 50 destinations

across India and rest of the world.

Customer Requirements:

Ø Major focus on lighting for office areas with Brightness Management luminaires with good

horizontal and vertical illumination in the space

Ø Industrial areas like Maintenance Building and Pump Rooms shall be with rugged luminaires

for longer life

Ø Lighting Should be energy efficient and aesthetically appealing

Ø Design based JOB and Wipro has to support with lighting design for all the areas in Scope

Ø Lux Levels to be followed as per IS standards

Proposed Solution:

ü Selection of luminaire was key factor in achieving desired Lux levels

ü We used Fusion 2 as main product for all the office areas because of following reasons

o Fusion 2 has higher Optical efficiency (>70%)

o Fusion 2 has higher indirect component and hence confirms to CIBSE LG3 Guidelines

o We selected 2x36W CFL configuration for entire building

Results Achieved/Benefits to Client:

@ Lux levels achieved as per Tender Document (300 Lux for Office, 100 Lux for Corridor etc)

@ Lower power consumption and higher lamp life using SIGMA Electronic ballast, which was

also provided with Parallel lamp operation.

Brightness Management philosophy which is the core to success of winning the project, considers

people as the core of the workspace lighting. It asserts on the quality and not the quantity of light.

The luminaire- Fusion 2-used in BIAL, is the 1st generation Brightness Management fixture which is a

proven solution in direct indirect lighting. It is designed to achieve visually balanced light that

provides uniform light distribution in horizontal and vertical planes.

BIAL is a prime example in Wipro Lighting’s strong association with new airport

development/redevelopment in India. The success of BIAL has followed by other major international

terminal successes like MIAL Terminal 2. Today Wipro is one of the leaders in providing lighting

solutions to Airports in India with credentials of supplying light fixtures to 15 airports.
