Departure: As the spare capacity of the BHS Departure Input (i.e. Check-in and screening) / Arrival Terminating devices at T4 + NITB are more than the expected 10 mppa capacity expansion, there is no need to add any new departure / arrival BHS facilities at NITB & T4. However, there would be additional BHS elements to be added to facilitate the Baggage Transfer between T4, NITB and RTP, and Arrival Baggage Sortation at NITB & T4 and Departure Baggage Sortation at RTP As the baggage shall be loaded after BRS at Remote Terminal Pier, departure make-up should be located at the RTP, this demands new make-up carousels at RTP. Arrival: International Passengers: As the passengers need to clear immigration at NITB, the arrival claim devices should be at the NITB. The capacity of the claim devices are enough to meet the additional 57.7% of 5 mppa arrival capacity. Domestic Passengers: As the passengers need to clear domestic immigration at NITB and further move to either T4 or NITB domestic side, the arrival claim devices NITB (domestic) / T4 shall be used. The capacity of the claim devices are enough to meet the additional 42.3% of 5 mppa arrival capacity 14/11/2018 (C) Pteris Global Singapore 8 Baggage Movement Solution
NITB to/from RTP Transfer: The estimated baggage traffic between NITB & RTP is 1712 BPH (departure) and 1712 BPH (arrival), rounded to 1800 BPH. As the NITB – RTP transfer is very critical to ensure efficient & uninterrupted flight operations, it is necessary that the arrival / departure NITB – RTP transfer has minimum 50% capacity for any single sub-system failure. The above makes it necessary that the 1800 BPH should be transported by minimum of 2 lines, so that if any one line fails, there shall be a minimum of 50% capacity, for arrival as well as for departure. Various technologies can be considered to achieve the capacity and the required NITB – RTP inter terminal transfer time. The total capacity of 1800 BPH split into 2 lines. There shall be 2 numbers of NITB to RTP transfer & 2 numbers of RTP to NITB transfer. CAPEX & OPEX considerations would be given to select the best technology. 14/11/2018 (C) Pteris Global Singapore 9 Baggage Movement Solution
