The successful low-visibility test landing of an Airbus A320 aircraft at the greenfield Noida International Airport (Jewar) marks a monumental milestone toward commercial operations. Behind this seamless test flight is Labotek’s high-precision airfield ground lighting (AGL) power infrastructure and critical 33kV distribution network.
Runway Safety & Power Integrity
Aviation power infrastructure adheres to the world's most stringent regulatory standards. Under Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and ICAO regulations, runway approach lighting and instrument landing systems (ILS) cannot experience power interruptions exceeding 1 second during Category III low-visibility operations.
Scope Delivered by Labotek
- 33kV Main Receiving Substation (MRSS): Gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) with automated SCADA load balancing across terminal and runway feeders.
- CAT III AGL Power Regulators: Microprocessor-controlled constant current supply powering precision runway centerlines, touchdown zone lights, and PAPI units.
- Air Traffic Control (ATC) Tower UPS: Redundant 2N static UPS banks ensuring continuous power to surface movement radars, communication radios, and meteorological sensors.
- Lightning & Surge Protection: Comprehensive Faraday cage grounding grid spanning the entire 3,900-meter runway perimeter.
Labotek is proud to help establish Noida International Airport as one of Asia's most technologically advanced and reliable aviation gateways.
