Museum Of Anthropological Survey in Nagpur
The airport project started as a public-private joint venture between Germany's Siemens Project Ventures GmbH, Government of Karnataka and Airports Authority of India (AAI). Construction of the airport began in July 2005. The new airport was originally planned to accommodate 3.5 million passengers a year, but this was redesigned to handle 12 million passengers per year. The redesign resulted in an increase in the size of the terminal, number of aircraft stands, new taxiway layouts and supporting infrastructure.
The airport handled about 12.6 million passengers and had air traffic movements of about 330 per day in the year 2011. The airport is expected to handle 18 million passengers in the year 2015. It hosts to 10 domestic airlines and 21 international airlines connecting the city to about 50 destinations across India and rest of the world.

- Major focus on lighting for office areas with brightness management luminaires with good horizontal and vertical illumination in the space
- Industrial areas like Maintenance Building and Pump Rooms shall be with rugged luminaires for longer life
- Lighting should be energy-efficient and aesthetically appealing
- Design based JOB and Wipro has to support with lighting design for all the areas in scope
- Lux levels to be followed as per IS standards
- Selection of luminaire was a key factor in achieving the desired lux levels
- We used Fusion 2 as the main product for all the office areas
because of following reasons:
- 1. Fusion 2 has higher optical-efficiency (>70%)
- 2. Fusion 2 has higher indirect component and hence confirms to CIBSE LG3 Guidelines
- 3. We selected 2x36W CFL configuration for entire building
- Good horizontal and vertical lighting levels were achieved using Fusion 2
- Lux levels achieved as per Tender Document (300 Lux for office, 100 Lux for corridor, etc.)
- Lower power consumption and higher lamp life using SIGMA Electronic ballast, which was also provided with parallel lamp operation .
Brightness management philosophy, which is the core to success of winning the project, considers people as the core of the workspace lighting. It asserts on the quality and not the quantity of light.
Lighting
The luminaire – Fusion 2 – used in BIAL, is the 1st generation brightness management fixture, which is a proven solution in direct/indirect lighting. It is designed to achieve visually-balanced light that provides uniform light distribution in horizontal and vertical planes.
BIAL is a prime example of in Wipro Lighting’s strong association with new airport development/re-development in India. The success of BIAL has followed by other major international terminal successes like MIAL Terminal 2. Today, Wipro is one of the leaders in providing lighting solutions to airports in India with credentials of supplying light fixtures to 15 airports.
