Bayanat Engineering Qatar, a leading force in cutting-edge technological solutions, proudly announces the successful completion of its innovative project in partnership with Vaisala for the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority – Qatar Meteorology Department. The project "Supply and Installation of LIDAR System at HIA," marks a significant milestone for Qatar.

The implementation of the LIDAR system at Hamad International Airport signifies an advanced step in modern meteorological forecasting, filling an important gap. The state-of-the-art technology, a first in the MENA region, promises unparalleled accuracy and reliability, providing continuous awareness of the boundary layer and other vital factors. The scanning LIDAR system empowers better forecasting, informed decision-making, and more effective crisis management, positioning Qatar at the forefront of meteorological advancements.

The LIDAR system is a crucial tool in aviation safety, detecting wind shear and gusts to provide timely warnings for airport operators. This not only enhances safety but also improves landing capacity by reducing spacing between aircraft in the approach path. With its 360-degree 3D wind awareness at long range, the LIDAR system provides comprehensive data for meteorology decision-makers, ensuring safety and operational efficiency. Its deployment brings various benefits, including enhanced weather forecasting, improved climate modeling, and increased frequency of landings and take-offs, showcasing its transformative impact on Qatar's aerospace safety and efficiency.

"Bayanat Engineering Qatar is thrilled to announce the successful completion of the 'Supply and Installation of LIDAR System at HIA' project in partnership with Vaisala for the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority – Qatar Meteorology Department. With Bayanat Engineering Qatar expertise in the State of Qatar with over 20-year experience and Vaisala's solutions built on decades of experience and cutting-edge technology, this project stands as a remarkable achievement for Qatar's Meteorology Department and the Civil Aviation Authority for Hamad International Airport. We are proud to be a part of this project, which further strengthens the safety of Qatar's aerospace and contributes to more sustainable environmental path. Our gratitude extends to our clients and partners for their unwavering support. As Qatar continues to enhance its infrastructure and technological capabilities, Bayanat Engineering Qatar remains steadfast in its commitment to contributing to the nation's prominence in the MENA region and Internationally."
