Textron Aviation Service Hangars

The project

Where every detail on a business jet counts, the light must not leave a single gap.

6'200 m² of service hangar refurbished — during ongoing operations, explosion-proof zones included.

For the Textron Aviation service hangars at Zurich Airport we completely renewed the lighting while reusing the existing support systems to save material and resources. Because servicing of the Cessna and Beechcraft aircraft could not pause for a single day, we coordinated the work closely with everyone involved and engineered a mounting unit that fits the explosion-proof luminaires onto the existing structure. From the site survey through the lighting calculation to SN EN 12464 to briefing the installers, the full coordination was ours, and the energy verifications to SIA 387/4 make operating costs predictable in the long term. 480 luminaires across 6'200 m² deliver 42 % fewer light points and markedly better visual conditions for the staff — installed in two weeks, amortised in under five years. All luminaires are ready-to-repair: replaceable components and assured spare-part management keep the installation running throughout its entire life cycle.

Core tasks
  1. Site survey and assessment against the relevant standards
  2. Potential analysis and development of solution variants against the relevant criteria
  3. Lighting calculation to SN EN 12464, 12193, 13201 and SLG guidelines
  4. Energy verifications to SIA 387/4
  5. Clear, easy-to-read luminaire layout plans
  6. Preparation of documentation for subsidy applications
  7. Full coordination of the project execution
  8. Supply of all luminaires and components for the lighting project
  9. Support and briefing of the installers
  10. Joint project closure at final handover
