visual control room Explanation: El fanal, como se denomina a la parte superior de las torres de control, cuenta con ocho posiciones de trabajo independientes, seis de controladores operativos y dos de controladores planificadores. En total, en esta nueva dependencia trabajarán cerca de cien personas, entre controladores, técnicos de mantenimiento de comunicaciones, radioayudas, energía y personal del Área de Gestión Centralizadas de Instalaciones, Administración y Servicios Generales. http://www.lavanguardia.com/vida/20070203/51305423724/el-aer... The logistics of fabricating the steel off site, and then transporting the elements (particularly the large lantern control pod) to the site across one of the main runways, were daunting.

ABP are world leaders in the design, manufacture and installation of Visual Control Room’s (VCR) for Air Traffic Control Towers. We have over 40 years experience and have completed over 60 projects in 25 countries, from small airfields to some of the world’s largest international airports. https://www.airport-suppliers.com/supplier/abp/ I was going to suggest 'lantern (control pod)' as per my second reference but I changed my mind.

Analysis of the brief established that the new facility comprises two main elements: The Cab (including the Visual Control Room or VCR) and its associated Support Facilities. In order to provide a slim, elegant structure and in an effort to keep the tower as light and elegant as possible, most of the support accommodation (technical rooms and associated plant) has been separated from the Tower and is located in a single storey support facility at ground level. http://www.bamireland.ie/divisions/bam-building/building-pro... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 42 mins (2018-05-02 21:27:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The ATCT shading system by Reflex-Rol U.K. are bespoke systems, designed specifically for Air Traffic Control Towers, also known as VCR’s (Visual Control Rooms). The unique shape and plane of VCR windows demand bespoke systems, wider in the top than the bottom and usually inclined under an angle of between 12 to 16 degrees. https://www.barbourproductsearch.info/air-traffic-control-to... |
