Nexans has completed the installation of airfield lighting
cables for the Phase Two expansion project for Abu Dhabi
International airport.
Phase Two began in late 2006 for completion in 2010, and
includes the construction of a new super-sized midfield
terminal building, along with a second parallel 4,100m runway,
a new aircraft control tower and new cargo facilities.
The project demanded 1,900 km of 5 kV primary cable (FAA
L-824C) to provide power for the lighting transformers and 770
km of H07FN-F secondary cable, connecting the transformers
to the airfield lights. Nexans supplied the airfield lighting cable
to Crouse Hinds, the US-based lighting specialist in charge
of the cable installation. The 12-month contract, valued at
around 2.6 million euros, commenced in May 2007.
Nexans was awarded the contract because its cables comply
with the relevant international specifications for airfield
applications as well as being priced competitively.
The new mega midfield terminal complex will be capable of
handling 20 million passengers a year initially and then later,
as Abu Dhabi develops as a major Middle East transport hub,
up to 50 million passengers a year – this will provide major
competition to Dubai International airport.
The project will provide the home base for the United Arab
Emirates national carrier Etihad Airways.
The cables were manufactured at Nexans’ plant in Lyon.
Besides airfield lighting cables supplied for the Abu Dhabi
International airport, Nexans has designed an extensive range
of cables, cabling systems and accessories for the challenging
airport market.
