San Diego International Airport; Additional Security Light Project
San Diego International Airport; Additional Security Light Project
Client: San Diego International Airport
Location: San Diego, CA
Project provided additional security lighting along the fence for three different areas at Lindbergh Field: 1. the East End of the runway extending approximately 3,200 feet; 2. area to the north of the runway extending west from the Federal Express area to Jim’s Air area, a distance of approximately 4,200 feet; and 3. area near the fuel farm extending approximately 300 feet.
Light standards were located adjacent on the airport side of the security fence. Light standards were 20 foot or 40 foot in height depending on the area. Others were approximately 10 feet high to allow airplane passage through gates. Each light standard, except for two near the Crash and Rescue Building, utilized FAA approved obstruction light. Some light fixtures were mounted on the blast fence or on the structure referred to as the Summer Cottage where the road narrowed, which prohibited pole installation adjacent to the fence.
Existing electrical points of connection belonging to the Port District will be utilized. The electrical circuits will be placed underground in concrete encased duct.
Electrical distribution utilized several different voltages depending on the area and whether existing service was available. Some existing service was utilized and some new service was required. Other project elements included panelboards, meters, new SDG&E service, trenching underground duct banks, and dig alert (identification of existing crossings by other utilities).
Lighting levels complied with the Illumination Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) recommended criteria.
