Deerns Consulting Engineers

Based in the Netherlands, Deerns Consulting engineers are a leading airport project consultant specialising in electrical and mechanical design and engineering support.

Deerns are experienced in passenger terminal services such as baggage handling systems design and communication, passenger processing and security systems.

They are also involved with the design and construction of airfield runway lighting, navigational aids, passenger loading bridges and air traffic control systems.

Airport Project Consultants

Deerns' experience as airport project consultants ranges from the design and construction of new runways and terminal buildings to the installation of equipment for air traffic control towers.

High profile projects include runway and power system design at Amsterdam Schiphol airport, construction of a control tower at Bahrain International airport and work on a new terminal and airside services at Cairo International Airport and Abu Dhabi International Airport.

Airport Tender Documents

Deerns provide valuable support and advice throughout the development of airport projects. Their wide experience in the field of airport biuilding design allows them to offer insight into current and future demands of utility corridors, surveillance systems and navigational equipment and to assist in finding efficient and effective airport layouts.

They are also involved in the conceptual design of airports and facilities in close coordination with various architects, and the authoring of airport tender documents. This ongoing involvement ensures that the final design is both economical and efficient, and allows the transfer of experience and technology to local companies involved in the project.

Aviation Ground Lighting

Deerns have designed aviation ground lighting systems for runways, taxiways and aprons in over a hundred airports around the world. These include simple runway approach lights to sophisticated CAT III lighting systems. Deerns' lighting systems are compliant with all ICAO and FAA requirements for airfield lighting.

In addition to airfield ground lighting, Deerns advise airports on the choice and placement of other ground services such as aircraft refuelling points, ground power, water and air supplies, as well as passenger bridges and docking systems. The company's wide ranging experience in these areas allows them to help airports to choose the most effective and affordable products on the market.

Passenger Terminal Services

Baggage handling and technical services frequently demand up to thirty percent of the total floorspace in an airport terminal. Therefore, it is important to consider the placement of these systems at the earliest point possible in the airport terminal design process. Deerns offer technical planning and construction support for a range of passenger terminal services including passenger information, communication systems, baggage handling and security systems.

Deerns have the experience to recognise current and future trends in terminal services and infrastructure. On-going developments include self service check-in and boarding, self-service baggage check-in, and biometric screening. Deerns can assist in all phases of terminal design from identification of the best products for a task to conceptual terminal design and the preparation of tender documents.
