ACDC has landed a £5 million contract to provide lighting for Muscat International Airport in Oman.?The contract sees the company supplying more than 8,000 Evolution fittings, 31,000 metres of Fino linear luminaires, 2,000 micro floor or wall-recessed Eclipse fittings, and 1,000 metres of Integrex fittings by the end of 2014.
ACDC said it had worked closely with its distribution partners Zubair in Oman and Kelvin Lighting in Scotland to help lighting designer LDPI to find the most appropriate solution for the brief which involves the lighting of the exterior fa?ade and landscape of the newly-built airport's surrounding site and vehicular approaches, together with all interior lighting of public areas.
Lawrie Nisbet of LDPI explained: "We have a long standing relationship with both ACDC and Kelvin Lighting having worked on a number of projects over the years.?The level of support is always exceptional and this project was no exception, taking almost three years of hard work."
The contract for Muscat International Airport is worth £5 million
The development of the airport is the largest project to ever be undertaken in the history of Oman.?The existing airport which was designed back in 1973 has now reached its maximum capacity and the design of the new airport aims to meet the nation's passenger growth numbers.? The new terminal is due to be completed by 2014 and will have the capacity to handle 12 million passengers annually, with future expansion plans already in the pipeline to eventually accommodate 48 million passengers.
Gareth Frankland CEO of ACDC said: "This project represents a landmark opportunity for ACDC. It has taken a lot of hard work and a long time to reach this point but it's finally paid off and it's fantastic news".
