The construction work for the new Berlin Brandenburg International airport is progressing at full speed. From June 2012, there should be capacity for around 6,500 passengers to land and take-off every hour. primion Technology AG from Stetten am kalten Markt, has been awarded the contract to supply and install the access control system.

In Spring 2009, seven suppliers were invited to participate in a bidding competition for the security system tender for the new Berlin airport. At this stage, primion was already in the race as an integrated system supplier. When the Bosch Company was ultimately awarded the project for the security package, they commissioned primion to extend the existing access control system at the Berlin Tegel and Schˆnefeld airports by the addition of the new BBI airport.

As part of the expansion to the Berlin Brandenburg International, BBI, Schoenefeld airport will be extended by an area of about 9.7 million m2 In total, the new airport will cover an area of 14.7 million m2, equivalent to about 2,000 football pitches. The networked access control system must be installed and ready for operation by the middle of 2011. The airport itself should start operations in June 2012.

So far, some 2,000 networked access control components have been installed and the interface to the existing credential management system has been completed. The airport ID cards are based on the current, ultra-secure LEGIC advant Æ technology and as such are tamper-proof. Additionally, a biometric access control system based on hand vein recognition is being introduced.
