RAAF Base Amberley

The scope of this project includes all works associated with the temporary removal and reinstallation, of the existing AGL as part of the pavement works.
The works also include provision of new runway lighting for Runway 15/33, and the introduction of Tactical Landing Box lighting (for all runways) including associated control system and ALER works.
The works comprise the supply (as required), installation, testing and commissioning of AGL elements.

• Lift and reinstatement of inset approach lights impacted by the pavement works
• Replacement of the High Intensity Runway Lighting (HIRL) for Runway 15/33, including construction of new monolith concrete beams across each runway threshold
• Lift and reinstatement of Runway 04/22 runway lighting impacted by the pavement works
• Installation of Tactical Landing Box lighting for the tactical landing boxes on Runway 15/33 and Runway 04/22, including associated primary circuits
• Lift and reinstatement (and/or relocation) of taxiway centreline lighting impacted by the pavement works\
• Replacement of secondary cabling impacted by the pavement works
• Decommissioning of the taxiway edge lighting system on Taxiway J
• Replacement of apron edge lighting for the Central Apron (south)
• Augmentation of the existing primary circuits supplying the Central Apron (north and south)
• Replacement of mandatory instruction MAGS and Navigational Check Signs across the airfield
• Installation of Constant Current Regulators (CCRs), CCR Control Boards and associated equipment to supply and control the Tactical Landing Box lighting primary circuits
• Modification of the existing AGL Control System (AGLCS) associated with the introduction of Tactical Landing Box lighting, modification of the Central Apron primary circuits, and decommissioning of taxiway lighting on Taxiway J.

Benefits

These improvements will significantly enhance airfield safety and operational efficiency by:

• Improved Visibility: New high-intensity runway lights and tactical landing box lighting provide better visibility for pilots during takeoff, landing, and taxiing.
• Enhanced Reliability: Upgraded systems reduce the likelihood of lighting failures, ensuring consistent performance.
• Modernized Control Systems: Enhanced control systems offer better management and coordination of lighting operations.
• Increased Operational Efficiency: Streamlined lighting systems and modern infrastructure support more efficient airfield operations.
