The task

India is booming! However, the infrastructure can hardly keep pace with the rapid growth of both population and economy. Bangalore is the capital of the Indian federal state of Karnataka. It was a matter of urgency to build a new airport there as the existing facilities had become hopelessly overloaded by the rapidly increasing volume of air traffic. The Indian government therefore decided to build a new international airport and chose to finance this complex project by means of a long-term cooperation agreement with private financiers, a so-called publicprivate partnership. The new Bangalore International Airport is the first Indian airport to be built on a greenfield site in partnership with private companies. The owner and operator of the airport is the project company, Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL). Siemens has a 40 percent stake in BIAL through its subsidiary company, Siemens Project Ventures. IN E&C (Industrial Technologies, Engineering & Construction), together with Siemens Ltd. India, received orders from BIAL to supply all the technical systems for the new airport near Bangalore, a city of over a million inhabitants.

From a greenfield to an innovative airport

The new international airport in Bangalore, India, has been built in just 33 months

The solution
Where only sand, stones and scrub could be seen in mid-2005, a modern airport has now been built - within the shortest possible time. Bangalore International Airport lies in Devanahalli, some 30 km north of the city center. It covers an area of 1,574 hectares, and is equipped with state-of-the-art Siemens technology. This includes the airfield lighting, checkin systems, IT and communication systems, protective and safety equipment, screening machines, baggage handling system, the complete power supply, fire detection and alarm systems, building automation, and mechanical components such as elevators, escalators and passenger boarding bridges. IN E&C was responsible for overall project management and the entire work: engineering, supply, installation, commissioning, and even the training of the airport workers. Expansion during the construction phase This complex project was completed successfully and on schedule by a team of about 60 employees from both Germany and India. The challenges included mastering not only the logistics but also the intercultural interactions. A large number of suppliers and partners had to be coordinated in order to create a functioning whole out of many small parts. Added to that, the project was expanded by about 50 percent during construction - with no extension to the completion date - and the number of aircraft parking sites was tripled. The airport has a 4,000 meter runway, plus a full length taxiway with 350,000 squaremeters of apron area. This apron can hold 42 aircraft stands. On a foot-

print of 32,000 squaremeters, the terminal building is spread over 71,000 squaremeters. It has nine passenger boarding bridges and is built to comply with the peak hour demand of approximately 3,000 passengers per hour. The terminal is well equipped to handle the increasing traffic volume for the next few years. However, the annual passenger volume is expected to rise to almost 29 million passengers by 2015. BIAL is therefore already planning the phased building of two more terminals and a second runway. Ready for take-off The previous Hindustan Airport gave way to the Bangalore International Airport in May 2008. The starting signal for passenger traffic was given on May 24 when aircraft movements went from zero to 341 within the first 24 hours. Since then 15 major international and ten national airlines have been landing and taking off from Bangalore Airport. There are an average of 300 aircraft movements every day. With this innovative prestige project, IN E&C and its partners have made a major contribution to improving Indias infrastructure and set standards for outstanding infrastructure projects.

The terminal offers ample room for growing passanger numbers

Since the inauguration of the new airport, aircraft movement numbers have risen to about 300 per day

The result
Competent project management, close interaction between the different Siemens units and the excellent working relationship between the headquarter and the Regional Company in India all proved crucial to successfully completing the project. - One of the most advanced airports in India - On-time completion despite a 50 % expansion to the order

- Successful project management - One supplier responsible for all the technical equipment - Coordination of all relevant partners - Minimization of interfaces - Smooth collaboration with the building contractor - Integration of all technologies ensures highest standards of safety for people and facilities - Reliable operation combined with fast and efficient troubleshooting - Comprehensive service throughout theentire life cycle
