AUTOMATION OF BUILDING MANAGEMENT PROCESSES AT GDANSK LECH WALESA AIRPORT

Case study

THE CUSTOMERGdansk Airport has been offering domestic and international passenger flights for almost 100 years. In 2012, thanks to its convenient location for the urban centres of Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia, the airport handled around 3 million passengers, putting it in fourth place in Poland.

The airport provides its passengers with two passenger terminals, T1 and T2. Terminal T1 has arrivals and departures for

flights to non-Schengen countries, while Terminal T2, which took two years to build and was completed in April 2012, is

fully equipped for passenger departures to Schengen and non-Schengen countries with 20 check-in desks and 10 gates.

The newly completed Terminal T2 at Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport, equipped with a number of building automation solutions

from Honeywell’s rich portfolio, is a modern four-story facility designed to allow further expansion as passenger traffic

grows.

Honeywell’s integrated building automation system installed at Terminal T2 controls all processes within the complex and ensures energy- and cost-efficient management of the facility.

THE CHALLENGEThe aim of the Terminal T2 project was to increase passenger capacity from 3 to 5 million passengers a year. The expansion

required both an increase in the surface area of the airport along with the automation of processes for managing the

new terminal building that will allow future expansion of the structure with new elements. The task that the Honeywell

team faced was to design, install and program automation systems that will intelligently manage, monitor and control all

processes occurring within Terminal T2 to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers as well as efficient and trouble-free

management of the site at the lowest possible expense.

HONEYWELL SOLUTIONS

A full suite of Honeywell modern

building automation systems were

installed and implemented in the

newly built Terminal T2. The basic

structure that provides the ability

to monitor and manage the entire

security infrastructure, all devices

for the building automation and the

energy monitoring system is the

integrated BMS Enterprise Building

Integrator R410.2 system consisting

of workstations spread throughout

the facility and dedicated video

stations. The use of a large number

of monitoring points and readers

allows all the information coming

from the building to be collected at

one point, and thus optimal energy

consumption to be achieved, as well

as an improvement in functionality,

comfort and safety. In addition, the

modular design allows for systems to

be expanded, requiring the disabling

of only certain parts of the structure

and a reduction in damage caused by

a failure of individual segments, which

makes the whole system very flexible.

Digital cameras have been installed

in Terminal T2, supported by another

important system – Digital Video

Manager. The DVM system manages

digital CCTV and has all the benefits

of digital CCTV and many additional

features that have an impact

on improving the efficiency and

effectiveness of security services,

thus reducing the financial outlay for

installation and maintenance.

The integrated intelligent whole is

made up of the following systems:

• HVAC system

• ACC access control system

• FAS fire alarm system

• IA intrusion alarm system

• EM energy monitoring

• Room comfort system

The climate in the terminal is managed

by a HVAC system with ExcelWEB

drivers, which manages the heating,

ventilation and air conditioning

systems within certain parameters,

allowing situations to be avoided in

which the heating and cooling systems

run at the same time.

Effective supervision of access to enclosed spaces in the terminal required the implementation of a system to allocate to

different users specific access rights to designated areas. The modern access control system based on Honeywell drivers

turned out to be the optimal solution. Another of the installed systems, the fire alarm system, is based on highly efficient

Honeywell Esser control panels, which stand out due to their advanced technology that provides reliable protection against

fire, even in places where there is only one stand-alone control panel. The terminal building has five fire control panels,

which monitor the work of more than 2,000 detectors.

The intrusion alarm system, based on Honeywell Galaxy control panels, offers a high degree of reliability and confidence

and meets the most stringent requirements for securing large sites that have increased risk. The latest computer

technology, open architecture hardware and software, and an extensive set of access codes make the Galaxy system the

ideal solution for a demanding facility like an airport terminal.

CUSTOMER BENEFITSThe Honeywell technology installed in Terminal

T2 meets all the requirements of a modern

airport. The systems are designed to ensure

that they integrate seamlessly with new

elements in the future. The numerous benefits

that users of the terminal derive every day

include the ability to control a large site with

a limited number of operating staff, without

having to leave the work station, a sense of

security and comfort for passengers, while

intelligent programming of equipment allows

energy to be saved. “Given the numerous

benefits associated with the use of Honeywell

intelligent facilities management technology, I

believe that this is a trend that should continue

and I personally welcome innovations with

enthusiasm,” says Andrzej Rogosz, Director

Telecommunication Systems and BMS at

Gdansk Airport, who is satisfied with his

cooperation with Honeywell.

The terminal was fitted with an electrical monitoring system, consisting of approximately 2500 data points that

communicate with other systems based on MODBUS protocol drivers using Schneider Electric drivers. The well-being of

passengers and terminal staff is taken care of by a room comfort system based on Excel WEB and fan coil drivers, which are

provided with the equipment and integrated with the EBI system using the MODBUS protocol.
