Bagdogra Airport
Bagdogra Airport
Bagdogra Airport, located in Siliguri, West Bengal, is the second-largest airport in the state and a critical gateway to North Bengal and the North East. The project, developed by Airport Authority of India (AAI), is poised to play a vital role in improving connectivity and supporting the region’s growth. The airport is being developed with a focus on environmental sustainability, integrating renewable energy systems, passive cooling strategies, and low-emissivity glazing to achieve a net-zero carbon footprint.
Wilo was selected for the supply of various pumping solutions, primarily due to their approved presence in all three key packages of the project, namely HVAC, Plumbing, and Fire Fighting. A key factor in the selection was Wilo’s local presence in Siliguri, which ensured seamless execution and smooth coordination across various stages of the project.
For plumbing and water supply applications, the IE5 HYPN Booster Systems and SCP pumps provide reliable and efficient performance to meet the high water demand of the airport. These systems ensure a stable water pressure across the entire airport facility, catering to both the operational and emergency water needs of the airport.
Wilo’s Atmos Giga I Pumps are a critical component of the fire-fighting infrastructure. With 16 Atmos Giga pumps, this solution delivers optimal water pressure to the fire hydrant and sprinkler systems, ensuring rapid response during emergencies. Additionally, the CIFAC pumps are deployed for additional fire-fighting needs, particularly in high-risk zones, ensuring uninterrupted service and safety for passengers and airport operations.
