Abu Dhabi International Airport, Project 25 – CAT IIIB, Meteorological Sensors, FMV Roads

Abu Dhabi International Airport is currently undergoing significant works to expand the airport to accommodate its growth. The airport is the second largest in the United Arab Emirates serving over 23 million passengers per year. The airport has two runways, Runway 13R-31L and Runway 13L-31R, and has designated the eastern portion of Taxiway F as a helicopter takeoff and landing area.

As part of the current overall program, it is required to have fully compliant and integrated CAT IIIB arrivals and departure routes, enabling the safe and efficient operation of the north and south runways (approaches 13L, 31L and 31R) during periods of low visibility.

Jouzy in association with Airsys is the Design Consultant for the CAT IIIB AGL System Design, which is being performed as part of a Design/Build Contract. Scope included full design of the LVP Route Lighting with segment control via software interlocks, associated AGL infrastructure, new meteorological sensors (RVRs and FS11s), and full design of 2km of airside roads with staging areas for Follow Me Vehicles (FMVs).
