SPIE installs BMS-based building automation system at Warszawa Zachodnia railway station in Poland

Warsaw, Poland, 26 January 2026 – SPIE, the independent European leader in multi-technical services in the areas of energy and communications, has delivered a building automation system and a supervisory building management system (BMS) as part of the “Warszawa Zachodnia railway station renovation” project, carried out between November 2021 and December 2025. SPIE’s direct client was Budimex, which delivered the project as the general contractor selected through a tender process.

SPIE LTEC, Polish subsidiary of SPIE Central Europe specialised in BMS solutions, was responsible for delivering of a complete building automation system managing the facility’s key technical installations. The BMS controls, among other systems, ventilation, heating and air conditioning across the station concourse, underground areas, retail pavilions and ancillary buildings, including railway facilities. The system is designed to maintain the specified thermal comfort parameters for passengers and employees, while optimising energy consumption.

The solution implemented by SPIE LTEC also enables ongoing monitoring of the consumption of utilities such as electricity, water, gas, heating and cooling, as well as supervision of other essential technical systems. Data is collected from hundreds of sensors distributed throughout the site, allowing technical services team to respond quickly in the event of failures or irregularities in system operation.

The photovoltaic installation located on the platform roofs is also covered by BMS monitoring. The system provides visualisation of energy generation, on-site consumption and power drawn from the grid, allowing ongoing energy analysis of the building.

Proven expertise in delivering complex facilities

SPIE LTEC participated in the Warszawa Zachodnia railway station renovation project from the early stage of preparing detailed design execution documentation. Based on the general requirements set out in the tender documents, the company developed the detailed and fabrication designs for the automation systems, followed by the as-built documentation. The scope of work also included coordination with entities from other disciplines involved in the project.

“At the peak of implementation, around 20 SPIE LTEC fitters were working on site, but in the field of building automation, design and programming activities are just as important as installation work. That’s why more than a dozen specialists from our design, engineering and programming teams were involved at various stages of the project.

This level of expertise was essential given the size and complexity of the Warszawa Zachodnia railway station, which, in addition to the main concourse, includes more than a dozen other buildings and technical areas covered by our system", said Tomasz Szolc, Vice President of SPIE LTEC.

The building automation system installed at Warszawa Zachodnia railway station is designed to support both the project’s environmental objectives and the station’s daily operations. It will simplify the technical management of the extensive station infrastructure and provide comfortable conditions for passengers and staff. The project delivered by SPIE LTEC, particularly in the areas of environmental solutions and energy efficiency, was based on the proven expertise of engineers with extensive experience from other projects of a comparable scale.
