Baggage Claim | Arrival Hall
Year: 2006-2008
Client:
Bosch Security Systems
Services: Design, prediction and Commissioing of the Public Address system; room-acoustic consulting
The new Terminal 3 and Concourse 2 at Dubai International Airport have opened on October 14th, 2008. The Terminal has a capacity of 43 mio. passengers per year; total project costs (including Concourse 3 which is currently under construction) are $4,5bn.
Terminal 3 is located completely underground under the apron. The total built-up area is equivalent to 94 football fields. A total of 158 check-in counters are available; the baggage claim hall alone measures 220x135m.
Concourse 2 is directly adjacent to the Terminal. The building has 10 floors, a total length of 924m and a built-up area equivalent to 120 Football fields. A total of 26 gates are available, 5 of which are ready to serve A380 jets.
On behalf of Bosch Security Systems, Rahe-Kraft was appointed to design, predict and commission the complete public address system for all public areas.
The system consists of approximately 4.000 ceiling loudspeakers, 600 passive arrays and about 140 active DSP-controlled Intellivox-arrays. The system is driven by 190 Bosch Praesideo amplifiers; the Praesideo audio networking is done via Cobranet.
The Design phase took over one year; all larger rooms were predicted with CATT Acoustic. Only some newly developed and much faster algorithms written by Bengt-Inge Dalenbaeck of CATT allowed reasonable computing times for the large halls.
The huge baggage claim hall (235 x 220m) is completely serviced with only 18 active DSP-controlled loudspakers with special DDS-technology.
The Commissioning of the system was done personally by Jakob Kraft who spent a total of over five weeks in Dubai.
The system was optimized for uniformity of coverage and high speech intelligibility. Since the opening of the airport, the system is operated and running to the client's full satisfaction.
