75 APPENDIX E Checklist for Airfield Construction Source: ASM Consultants. The following are some of the most common impacts to operations associated with construction activities in the airside. The list can be used in the Checklist Method for identification of hazards, or as a list of common hazards associated with airfield construction to be used with alternative techniques for hazard identification during brainstorming sessions. ⢠Is there possibility of runway incursions by workers and construction equipment/vehicles? ⢠Can the presence of equipment and temporary installations in the airside or landside penetrate Part 77 surfaces? ⢠Are there activities with the potential to generation foreign object debris (FOD) and dust that can endanger operations? ⢠Are workers, equipment, temporary facilities, excavations, or piles possibly interfering with NAVAIDsâ signals, particularly Glide Path and Localizer signals? ⢠Can construction activities create wildlife attractants such as food and presence of worms in excavations and paving operations? ⢠Are construction areas clearly marked and lighted to warn pilots of obstacles? ⢠Are work areas in the proximity of an active runway and subject to the risk of runway excursions and undershoots? ⢠Can jet blast by aircraft engines blow debris or generate high wind velocities to construction areas? ⢠Is there a plan for effective communication and coordination between construction crews, airside operations, and air traffic control activities? ⢠Is it possible to occur damage to airfield services and NAVAIDs as a result of excavations or crossing of heavy equipment? ⢠Are there changes to airfield operations requiring timely NOTAMs? ⢠Is construction traffic crossing movement and non-movement areas? ⢠Can construction areas and activities impact emergency response routes? ⢠Are there new situations requiring new/revised emergency response plans (e.g., need for emergency opening of runway closed for construction activities)? ⢠Are there procedures in place to prevent security breaches and access of unauthorized persons/ vehicles in the airside? ⢠Is there a potential for the presence of vehicles/workers unfamiliar with the airport layout, regulations and procedures pertaining to vehicle operations in the airfield? ⢠Are there effective procedures and training for safe escorting of construction vehicles, equipment, and workers? ⢠How can changes to the operations environment impact safety of operations (e.g., low visibility, opening/closure of runways)? ⢠How can the issue of timely and accurate NOTAMs be assured? ⢠Is stockpiling of spoils/soil in/near movement and non-movement areas impacting safety areas and Part 77 surfaces? ⢠Is staging of equipment movement and non-movement areas impacting safety areas and Part 77 surfaces? ⢠Is there a chance that lighting of closed areas is not turned off? ⢠Is it possible that non-native English speaking workers fail to understand briefings and orders? ⢠How can the incorrect use/installation of temporary marking and lighting be avoided? ⢠Are there any deficiencies in procedures to close and open airside areas to operations? ⢠Are paving operations in opposite direction of predominant aircraft operations? ⢠Are construction lights causing glare to pilots?
