Day 3 - 16 March
Session: Technology: Integration & Apps

12:55 - 13:25 - Expansion of Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1
Synopsis: Changi Airport Terminal 1 has undergone many small- and large-scale additions and alteration works since its inception in 1981. However, the capability of the BHS has remained the same and it does not have the facility to perform automated sortation. With more airlines wanting to jump onto the FAST bandwagon, there is an increasing need to redevelop the existing Terminal 1 BHS to enhance passenger service with a new baggage sortation and early bag system to support self bag drop operations. As part of the project, the hold baggage screening system is being upgraded to ECAC Std3 machines.

Audience will learn:

• Overview of expansion works of at Terminal 1
• Overview of the design of the Terminal 1 baggage handling system
• Insight into the considerations behind the phasing plans for the new BHS implementation
• Challenges faced when implementing BHS replacement in an operational environment and using BIM to mitigate/solve risk/complex coordination issues
