Runway Lighting & Airfield Electrical installations at Hamad International Airport (DOH)

Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) is the most safety-critical electrical system on any airport: inset and elevated LED runway edge, centreline, threshold, touchdown-zone, taxiway centreline, stop-bar and PAPI lighting, all driven by Constant Current Regulators and an individually addressed lighting control and monitoring system (ILCMS). It interconnects with the A-SMGCS, ATC tower and airfield MV ring. Specifications follow ICAO Annex 14 and FAA AC 150/5345. Buyers are airports, national CAAs and the civil contractors delivering new runways and rehabilitation packages.

Hamad International is what happens when a state airline designs its own cathedral. Opened in 2014 and already expanded twice, it serves as Qatar Airways' global spine and routinely tops Skytrax's best-airport rankings. 2024 traffic hit 52.7 million passengers and cargo cleared 2.6 million tonnes — both records. Phase C, now in tender, will lift capacity beyond 70 mppa and add a second passenger processing hall.
