DIP TRAINING DEFENCE AIRFIELD WORKS

Purpose Provide information to DIP Members on Defence airfield works & expectations

Agenda • • • Defence Airfield Projects – Overview Airfield Works/Projects Delivery of Airfield Projects/Projects Directorate NAP Roles Questions

Overview • • 28 Defence airfields across Australia $1+bn projected for AFLD Major Maintenance Program (Capital airfield works) over the next 10 years (excluding new capability projects) $150+m programmed for routine aircraft pavement maintenance over the next 10 years Airfield Capability projects

Minor Maintenance • Repetitive and routine Works (every 1 - 2 years) • Maintenance of existing wearing courses (including but not limited to surface enrichment, • patching, crack and joint sealing, linemarking, rubber removal, grooving, pavement drain • maintenance, Concrete repair works) • Minor Airfield lighting associated with pavement maintenance • Compliance with MOS 139 where opportunities permit for example minor linemarking changes. • Minor or no design work. Technical specification based. • No stakeholder input to Design • To maintain minimum Airworthiness Requirements

Major Maintenance • • • Used where Minor Maintenance can no longer suffice Repetitive and scheduled (10 years plus) Replacement of existing wearing courses. (including but not limited to Asphalt overlay and Rigid pavement reconstruction) Rework of non compliant flanks and drainage. Airfield Lighting System replacements (including but not limited to ALER works, pit and duct, primary and secondary cabling, wind socks, and replacement AGL fittings to pavements) Compliance with Electronic Airworthiness Requirements Design Manual (e. ADRM) is mandatory. Technical Airworthiness Record of Decision (TASRo. D) required by 50 % design to permit a non compliance with e. ADRM Detailed Design Required. Some stakeholder input to Design. Minor New work (VFM accessed) less than $13 M per project.

Capital Works • Not Repetitive • New Capability (as and when required by Govt) • New rigid and flexible full depth pavement construction • Strengthening or widening Overlay to meet new capability requirements • New Airfield lighting to meet new capability requirements • Extensive Detailed Design required • Delivered by Head Contract or Managing Contract

Airfield Works Delivery • Projects – – CFI, EP, SDD etc • Central Organisation/Node to ensure consistency and compliance, future-proofing • e. ARDM, MOS 139, ICAO • BCA 16

National Airfields Maintenance Works Program Purpose: • Maintain serviceability and airworthiness of aircraft movement surfaces, including visual aids. • Prevent degradation of airfield capabilities. Method: • Timely resurfacing / replacement of pavements. • Timely replacement of airfield lighting systems. Outcomes: • WOL asset costs for aircraft pavements and airfield lighting systems are minimised. • Disruptions to aircraft operations are minimised.

National Airfields Projects Responsible for: • Programming and delivery of major aircraft pavement and airfield lighting works on all Defence airfields – Asphalt overlays – Flexible and rigid pavement reconstruction – Airfield lighting system upgrades • Routine pavement maintenance at all 28 Defence airfields every 1 -3 years – Annually for main operating bases (Routine airfield lighting maintenance is managed regionally via EMOS to the detail in the AGL Manual)
