Inside STREAM AWCS: How AWCS Powers Centralised Waste Collection

From the moment rubbish is discarded to its final collection point, STREAM delivers a hygienic, efficient, and sustainable waste journey beneath your feet.

It all starts with a simple gesture - a janitor, visitor, or anyone at the user concourse dropping waste into a gravity chute. Unfortunately, conventional gravity chutes often face recurring complaints, including unpleasant odours, frequent blockages, and poor hygiene.

World-Class Airports Deserve World-Class AWCS

Designed for reliability and hygiene, STREAM's airtight loading station features RFID tracking, a user-friendly touchscreen interface, magnetic door locks, and an integrated weighing system. The system provides real-time operational monitoring, ensuring greater control, traceability, and efficiency throughout the waste collection process.

Moving Waste Seamlessly Beneath the Surface

Once the loading station reaches capacity, automated valves open and powerful exhaust fans generate an underground vacuum. Waste is transported through STREAM's reinforced concealed pipes at speeds of up to 70 km/h, eliminating the need for manual waste transport while keeping terminal operations running smoothly.
