TEC Innovator Award

Mobile Ammonia Scrubber Vehicle

In 2004, Cyclect was awarded the TEC Innovator Award, together with the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), for our role in the research and development of SCDF’s Mobile Ammonia Scrubber project.

Known as the Hazmat Mobile Scrubber Vehicle, this vehicle was developed as part of the national effort to enhance the Hazmat response capability of SCDF, especially in the scope of mitigation of toxic release. The vehicle is designed for rapid deployment to site for confinement and removal of up to 3.5 metric tones of hazardous vapour up to 60 minutes. With most of the toxicity removed from the contaminated air, the impact on the environment and public exposure to such hazardous vapours will be minimised.

Foreign Object Deposit Detection and Alarm System (FIDAS)

Cyclect was awarded the TEC Innovator Award again in 2005, this time for our work in developing the Foreign Object Deposit Detection and Alarm System (FIDAS).

To improve the safety level and efficiency of runways and taxiways, Cyclect Electrical Engineering Pte Ltd, in collaboration with the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, developed Stratech Systems, which automates the scanning process via a series of video cameras that recognise runway debris.

In addition to scanning for debris, our R&D team decided take one step further and create a runway system, using the FIDAS. Upon detection of any debris, the programme automatically sends an electronic alert to the control tower, indicating on a screen the position of the debris to alert a driver to sweep the object away from the specific spot, which the system pinpoints on a global-positioning map. In addition, the driver receives notification if the runway sweeper fails to pick up the object. The system detects debris in all weather conditions and effectively eliminates human error in manual recording of FOD collected.

Enterprise 50 Award

In 2009, we received the Enterprise 50 award, Singapore’s leading business award.

In 2010, we won the Enterprise 50 award again, with an improved ranking from 30th position to 18th position.
