Airfield Lighting System Equipment Replacement Cost
Airfield lighting systems are a vital part of any airport’s operation and maintaining that operation is crucial. Part of maintaining the operation is ensuring the airport’s insurance policy is up to date to cover replacement cost in the event of any damaged cause by natural disasters or vandalism. Like everything else, equipment and replacement cost have fluctuated over the years, so if you haven’t completed an electrical project recently, the amount of insurance coverage may be outdated.
Replacement cost vary from airport to airport depending on several factors, including quantity ordered, location and shipping cost, specific equipment options, and regional economic conditions. To assist an airport in estimating replacement equipment costs, a list of common airfield lighting components installed are listed below. Prices are based on recently bid projects over the past year and include installation cost that would typically be seen on an AIP funded project. Prices reflect equipment and installations meeting FAA requirements and standard details. If you have a piece of equipment not listed below or unsure on actual cost, it is recommended you contact your supplier to get an estimate or contact your Engineer.
