Day 1 - 25 March
Session: Management & Operations (inc ACDM, ATC & TAM)

14:00 - 14:30 - Airside Operations Building
Synopsis: The Airside Operations Building (AOB) replaces the existing 50-year-old Emergency Response Services (ERS) building, which is not post-disaster rated and is undersized for current and future airside operations. The project also provides for the establishment of a central base of operations and staging area for all airside maintenance activities. By providing a centralised location, the Airside Operations Building facilities will enhance overall airport safety and airside operations programme efficiency through a reduction in the return to service times for equipment and shortening runway closures caused by winter conditions or foreign object debris (FOD) incidents. The presentation highlights the planning process and provides an update on current status of construction.

Audience will learn:

• Project funding
• Building programming
• Airside construction
• Permit approval
• Weather challenges
