Project Overview

Professional Systems Engineering, LLC provided engineering services for the survey and analysis of the Airport’s building management, facility lighting, airfield lighting, and power substation monitoring and contr ol systems. This project aimed to provide a more efficient and effective solution for monitoring the airport’s various HVAC, lighting, and power systems. Working with various members of the airport staff, PSE proposed a solution which will provide monitoring of all systems from a single workstation while increasing efficiency and reducing the Airport’s maintenance costs.

PSE investigated the current methods for monitoring and controlling these systems and devices in order to develop a new, streamlined solution for unified monitoring. PSE also surveyed the existing airport’s job control center and made recommendations and conceptual designs to improve room layout, console design, and monitoring systems. A solution was recommended that would increase efficiency while providing significant cost savings to the airport. Additional functionality was recommended including automatic maintenance ticketing, notification of staff using smart phones and other devices, and preventative maintenance (PM) scheduling and tracking.

PSE’s recommended solution will allow for the addition of energy-saving functionality such as energy management, lighting control, and load shedding.

PSE’s scope of work Included:

  • On-site survey of the following systems:
    • Siemens Apogee Insight building management systems
    • TAC I/A building management system
    • Cooper/Crouse-Hinds airfield lighting control systems
    • Lutron Grafik 6000/7000 interior lighting systems
  • Interviews/meetings with airport maintenance staff
  • Interviews/meetings with various hardware and software vendors
  • Development of unified monitoring solution
  • Preparation of an needs assessment with our findings and solutions
  • IT recommendations for hi-capacity, secure networks upgrades
