Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) is the third largest airport in Germany with around 23.1 million passengers (2023) and 176,649 aircraft movements (2023). Due to the large number of people who use the airport every day, airports are a sensitive area and critical infrastructure on the one hand and an important place for advertisers to reach passengers with advertising messages on the other. Advertising revenue is an important source of income for airport operators, but the advertising media (LED walls, monitors and screens) must meet the high requirements for fire protection at airports, among other things. Above the marketplace – the shopping area of the airport behind the security checkpoints – four new LED walls were installed, which meet the latest safety and fire protection regulations thanks to integrated fire protection made by JOB. The LED screens, which will be suspended from the ceiling in pairs of two, will now display DooH advertising and information about the airport. Thanks to their impressive size, the screens are the most spectacular advertising space on the entire airport site and optimally reach the target group of passengers.
The four LED walls above the marketplace consist of a total of 576 LED cabinets. These are equipped with JOB E-Bulbs, which provide the best possible protection against fire inside the cabinets. The E-Bulb triggers at a set temperature and thus extinguishes any fires that arise. Thanks to the residue-free extinguishing liquid, the remaining electronics are spared. This saves resources as well as time and costs for repairs. In addition to the positive aspects in the event of a fire, integrated fire protection (against fires from inside) in combination with external device measures (against fires from outside) enables the installation of electrical devices even in sensitive areas, such as escape and rescue routes with a lot of pedestrian traffic.
PROJEKTZUSAMMENFASSUNG
EWM GmbH, a leading welding technology supplier, maintains high quality standards backed by advanced testing and safety systems. To prevent operational failures, the company focused on protecting electrical components. In late 2023, intelligent mini fire extinguishers were installed in nine electrical systems in cooperation with Wichmann to suppress incipient fires directly at their source.
The Berlin-based start-up Rechargy uses an innovative business model that involves renting out power banks and setting up “Power Banks To Go” stations. The Rechargy stations are located in public areas and are therefore subject to strict fire safety and security requirements. Thanks to AMFE, the charging and power electronics areas are reliably protected.
