Singapore adopts integrated, IP-based supervisory building control

• Singapore's Changi Airport is home to over 70 airlines flying to more than 160 cities in 53 countries.  
• The new $1.5 billion (US) Terminal 3 development, scheduled for completion in early 2008, requires rapid, comprehensive and integrated building services control. 
• The project also requires additional capability to extend control to existing Terminals 1 and 2 offering a comprehensive controls solution. 

• Complex array of multi-vendor control and environmental monitoring sub-systems, featuring devices from Cylon, Andover, Singapore Technologies, Invensys and Barber Colman.
• Over 50,000 control points on Terminal 3 and a further 60,000 control points across Terminals 1 and 2.
• A reliable, easy to access and integrated site-wide building management solution for the CAAS.

Tridium provided

• Market-leading NIAGARA Framework as the system architecture united with Cisco’s IP router and switching technology, providing a fully integrated IP-based supervisory system for all three Terminals delivered by systems integrator, CHA. 

• All sub-systems will be connected by a Giganet Fiber Optic backbone network in a single, open, fully interoperable and web-based control environment running on HP Servers.
• Solution will allow the full fiber ring bandwidth to be utilized, facilitating information and application sharing across the site and guaranteeing the highest standards of network reliability.
• NIAGARA Framework will talk to each controller using its native protocol and respective network in one environment, irrespective of controller type and manufacturer, ensuring complete freedom of equipment specification.
• Each Terminal will feature a dedicated NIAGARA System, equipped with Marathon Hot Standby Functionality on all servers. In the event of one system failing, either of the other two systems can handle the increased load and automatically take over within five seconds.
