New runway ready for takeoff in record time
After years of preparation, work on Bengaluru International Airport proceeded
very quickly. Construction began  kilometers north of the city center in July
. Only  months later, in May , the first commercial flight took off
from the new runway.
Project implementation was smooth and rapid because Asia’s most advanced
airport had selected a complete, customized technology solution from Siemens.
For the project, Siemens fully leveraged its unique strengths as an integrated
technology company. As in other major projects, we demonstrated locally the
entire scope of our international expertise. For example, all sub-solutions were
internally coordinated in advance. In line with the Siemens One approach, a key
account management team advised the project company every step of the way.
We tackled the challenge head-on, delivering electrical systems on a turnkey basis,
supplying energy for the airport buildings, installing customized IT solutions and
providing suitable mobility solutions – all in record time. The service package
covered everything from planning and delivery to installation and commissioning.
And, as G.V. Sanjay Reddy recalls, our involvement didn’t end when the airport
opened: “Siemens was very active in implementing the project from the begin-
ning. The Company is solutions-oriented and views its tasks from a -degree
perspective. That makes Siemens a strong, reliable and trustworthy partner.”
Our Company-wide Siemens One approach en-
ables us to offer complete, customized solutions –
systematically and across business areas – for
hotels, hospitals and airports, for instance. The
idea behind Siemens One is simple: at an inte-
grated technology company, the whole is greater
than the sum of its parts.
G.V. Sanjay Reddy, Managing Director of Bangalore International Airport Limited
“In Siemens, we’ve found a strong, reliable and
trustworthy partner. The company’s technology
leadership – coupled with its strong focus
on sustainability – has made its input into the
project invaluable.”
