JCDecaux - Digital Signage, Terminal 4, Perth Airport

Client: JCDecaux & QANTAS
Scope: Digital Display Decommissioning, Design, Fabrication & Installation

When the digital check-in and advertising display at Terminal 4 (T4) Perth Airport reached end-of-life, global media leader JCDecaux and airline partner QANTAS turned to Visicomm— their trusted long-term delivery partner—to lead the complex upgrade.

The Challenge

The project involved a live airport environment, tight timeframes, and minimal disruption to QANTAS operations. With just seven overnight shifts to complete the full replacement, the site presented logistical, operational, and engineering constraints.

Our Solution

Visicomm was responsible for:
• Design and engineering of the new electrical infrastructure and custom display substructure
• Decommissioning the existing end-of-life display
• Manufacturing and offsite assembly of all new components
• Installation and commissioning within a highly constrained time window

To reduce time onsite and minimise impact on terminal operations, the team pre-assembled and tested the entire display—structure, LED panels, wiring, and startup—offsite. This proactive approach ensured a seamless integration with no room for error.

Execution Excellence

Installation required navigating narrow access routes and operating within a secure, live terminal. Visicomm’s planning included:
• Use of specialist access equipment (spider cranes, EWPs)
• Precise coordination of personnel and logistics
• Fabrication designed for modular transport through glass sliding terminal doors
• A complete test-and-commission cycle prior to onsite arrival, allowing rapid final hookup

The entire display was successfully lifted, positioned, and secured during a single short night shift, with minimal on-site commissioning required.

Outcome

Visicomm’s forward-thinking methodology, combined with precise execution and logistical expertise, delivered a high-impact result—on time and on budget—without disrupting daily airport operations.

This level of performance is what continues to differentiate Visicomm from traditional integrators and why clients like JCDecaux and QANTAS continue to entrust Visicomm with mission-critical projects.
