Design it right
from the start.
ICAO and FAA-compliant airfield design, engineering, BIM, photometric calculations and consulting — laying the foundations for safe, efficient and future-ready airports.
If your foundations are right from day one, you avoid creating tomorrow’s legacy constraints.
Passengers never notice correctly designed electrical infrastructure, compliant lighting layouts or optimised maintenance access — but airports depend on them every day.
Every design decision made during planning affects safety, maintainability, operational efficiency and lifecycle costs for decades. ADB SAFEGATE combines engineering expertise, regulatory knowledge and OEM understanding to help airports make those decisions correctly the first time.
Engineering one of the world’s largest airport expansion programmes.
The Hong Kong International Airport Third Runway Programme is one of the most complex aviation infrastructure expansions in the world. ADB SAFEGATE contributed specialist airside engineering, design and systems integration — demonstrating how engineering decisions made early in a programme protect operational performance for decades.
Consulting Services
Regulatory compliance, feasibility studies, value engineering and independent technical advice — from the first question through to procurement.
Design Services
From existing situation surveys and preliminary design through to IFC documentation, BIM modelling and construction supervision.
Design Tools & Calculators
CCR calculator, photometric tools, BIM object library and design specifications — free engineering resources for airport designers and consultants.
Installation Drawings
Construction reference drawings for airfield lighting, CCRs, guidance signs and apron systems — direct download, no registration required.
Independent engineering advice
Helping airports make informed decisions before procurement begins — when changes are still low-cost and options remain open.
OEM expertise
Designers who understand how airside products perform in real airport environments — not just how they appear in specifications.
Regulatory confidence
Deep experience with ICAO, FAA, EASA and local authority requirements across every world region and jurisdictional context.
Lifecycle thinking
Designing infrastructure that remains maintainable, adaptable and compliant for decades — not just operational on opening day.
Planning your next airside project?
Whether you’re upgrading one runway or planning a completely new airfield, our engineering specialists can help you make informed decisions from day one.
ADB SAFEGATE Design & Consulting covers consulting services (feasibility, compliance, value engineering), design services (surveys, IFC drawings, BIM), design tools (CCR calculator, photometric tools, BIM objects) and installation drawings. All delivered by specialist airside engineers with ICAO, FAA and EASA expertise.
The earlier the better. Pre-feasibility engagement consistently delivers the best commercial outcome because engineering decisions made early are the least expensive to change and the most consequential in terms of lifecycle performance.
Design decisions during planning determine the safety, maintainability, energy performance and regulatory compliance of airfield infrastructure for decades. Good design is invisible to passengers but critical to operations every day.
ICAO Annex 14 (Volumes I and II), FAA Advisory Circulars (AC 150 series), EASA regulations, UK CAA CAP 168, Transport Canada TP 312 and local civil aviation authority requirements across all jurisdictions.
Yes. Independent design review and value engineering is one of ADB SAFEGATE’s core capabilities. Reviews identify compliance gaps, cost inefficiencies and performance improvement opportunities.
Yes. BIM services include 3D airside modelling, coordination file production, digital asset information and access to the ADB SAFEGATE BIM object library. Objects are available in Revit-compatible formats.
ADB SAFEGATE engineers understand how airside products perform under operational conditions, not just how they appear in specifications. This influences circuit sizing, CCR selection, maintenance access planning and integration with control systems.
Yes. Feasibility studies cover technical and commercial assessment including infrastructure capacity, regulatory compliance, traffic demand modelling, capital cost estimation and preferred engineering solutions.
Yes. Complete IFC drawing packages covering electrical layouts, civil drawings, cable routing, CCR specifications, lighting calculations and system integration — ready for contractor use.
Yes. Construction-phase services include technical assistance, quality assurance, compliance checking and as-built documentation — ensuring the constructed installation faithfully implements the approved design.
Yes. ADB SAFEGATE regularly provides specialist airside engineering input within broader project teams alongside airport owners, design consultancies and EPC contractors.
