Abstract:

Airfield construction projects have unique construction challenges because of their close proximity to aircraft operations. During these projects, communication, safety areas, airspace protection zones, and foreign object damage are emphasized. Incursions and incidents are of significant concern to FAA, the airport operator, and the contractor. This paper discusses and illustrates how time-lapse photography can be used to develop training and educational material pertaining to the construction practices on airfields. This proposed idea is illustrated through case studies documenting runway reconstruction at two airports in Indiana. The paper is supplemented by several images and with links to YouTube videos to illustrate these concepts. This material is beneficial for training construction workers in airfield awareness, and it provides an overall understanding of the complexities of airside construction. Although this paper focuses on general aviation airports, the material can be of value to all sizes and types of airports. With some modifications and support, the proposed techniques could be applied to larger airports.
