Airport engineers design and construct airports. Airport engineers must account for the impacts and
demands of aircraft in their design of airport facilities. These engineers must use the analysis of
predominant wind direction to determine runway orientation, determine the size of runway border and
safety areas, different wing tip to wing tip clearances for all gates and must designate the clear zones in
the entire port. The Civil Engineering Department, consisting of Civil and Structural Engineers,
undertakes structural design of passenger, terminal design and cargo terminals, aircraft hangars (for
parking commercial, private and government aircraft), runways and other pavements, technical
buildings for installation of airport ground aids etc. for the airports in-house requirements and
consultancy projects. They are even responsible for the master plan for airports they are authorized to
work with.
