applicable during the execution of works at an active airport.
B. Subject to any provision to the contrary contained in the Contract, none of the works
contained in the Contract, none of the works within the airport premises shall be carried
out without the earlier approval of DGCA. The Contractor shall respect all the
requirements for the works to be done in the airside to be set by DGCA.
C. The Contractor attention is drawn to the fact that the operation of aircraft at this airfield
shall at all times have priority over construction operations and that the Contractor may at
any time be required to temporarily suspend work due to unforeseen emergency of
operating aircraft. Any interruption to the Contractor's operations caused by operating
aircraft shall not be used as basis for any claim or as a request for any extension of time
by the Contractor. Any unauthorized crossing by vehicles and/or personnel or use of any
operational runway, taxiway or apron shall be cause for banishment of the offending
personnel and vehicles by the DGCA authorities without recourse.
D. This Specification shall be read in conjunction with the drawings showing safety
measures as applicable for the various phases of the construction works.
E. The Contractor shall comply and abide by all the requirements in this connection in
accordance with the manuals, rules and procedures laid down by the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO), Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) of U.S.A and the
regulations and instructions of the DGCA in this respect.
F. The Contractor shall submit to DGCA and the Engineer for its approval a robust Safety
Management Plan, addressing methods, procedures and measures he will implement to
ensure safe and uninterrupted aircraft operations at the airport during construction works.
It shall include information on persons appointed for the air operations safety and include
the proposed construction periods and working hours, so that notices can be distributed to
the Airport Authorities. This plan should further take into account and comply with (but
not limited to):
- The need to liaise with the relevant authorized persons and authorities.
- The requirements set in this specification.
- Requirements set out in the last version of: ICAO Standards and Recommended
Practices (ICAO Annex 14 Volume I "Aerodrome Design and Operations",

suppliers etc. The security access pass system shall allow for a clear identification of the
wearer and areas of access permitted for the wearer (e.g. by color coding area passes).
The different areas of access shall be agreed with the airport authority and the Engineer.
C. The Contractor shall submit to the DGCA information about all personnel and vehicles
requiring access passes to the airside area for its approval. The Contractor shall ensure
that all entry to airside areas will be gained only by production of a valid security pass.
The Contractor will need to have an airside driving license and received a driving brief,
both of which should be coordinated and obtained through the DGCA.
D. The Contractor shall keep an updated record of all security access passes and submit the
record to the DGCA and the Engineer weekly.
E. All vehicles and mobile equipment that the contractor wishes to use within the Airside
Operational Area shall be required to have a security vehicle pass. This pass shall be
obtained from the DGCA and shall allow identification of the area of access permitted.
All vehicle passes shall be clearly displayed at all times.
F. All submissions for airside area security access passes shall be made at least 15 days
prior to the date of commencement of the pass.
G. The airport authority reserves the right to refuse any security access pass application to
airside areas without giving any explanation.
H. The contractor will ensure that pass system is strictly enforced throughout the contract
period. Persistent non-observance of the system by any personnel will result in their
removal from the site.
1.3 AIRFIELD OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
A. The Contractor shall ensure that there is unimpeded permanent access for the Rescue and
Fire Fighting Service (RFFS) to all areas of the maneuvering area.
B. Construction traffic shall enter and depart the airside through designated routes, to be
determined in coordination with the DGCA
PART 2 -RESTRICTED AREAS
2. 1 AIR OPERATIONS AREAS
A. For the purpose of this Project, the term "Air Operations Area" shall mean any area of the
airport used or intended to be used for the landing, take-off, or surface manoeuvring of
aircraft, including such paved or unpaved areas necessary for the unobstructed movement
of aircraft in addition to its associated runway, taxiway, or apron. The limits of the Air
Operations Area are defined as:
1. An area including the runway and extending on each side of the runway centreline
or extended runway centre line, to a distance of 150 meters. The area is further
extended beyond each end of the runway for a distance of 60 meters.
2. An area of 57.5 meters from the centreline along all edges of taxiways and aprons.
B. If so required, these limits may be extended.
2. 2 OBSTACLE LIMITATION SURFACES (OLS)

A. The following OLS are established with relation to the airport and its runways:
1. Transitional Surfaces: surfaces extended from the edge of the runway strip outward
and upward.
2. Approach/Take-off Surfaces: surfaces centered on the extended runway centerline
and extending outward and upward from each runway end.
3. Inner horizontal Surface: horizontal plane above the airport related to the runway(s).
4. Balked landing, Inner approach and Inner transitional surfaces: these three surfaces,
define a volume of airspace in the immediate vicinity of a precision approach
runway which is known as the obstacle-free zone (OFZ). This zone shall be free of
fixed objects.
B. The slope and size of each such obstacle limitation surface is based on the category of
the runway and as further detailed in the last version of ICAO Annex 14 -Volume 1, or
any other applicable ICAO and/or DGCA regulation or instruction in this regard.
2. 3 OTHER RESTRICTED AREAS
A. Further restrictions may be necessary for stockpiling materials and for the movement and
parking of equipment and vehicles (cranes, trucks, machinery, etc.) to prevent:
1. Interference with the line-of-sight from the control tower.
2. Radioelectric impact on the Instrumental Landing Systems (ILS). For this specific
case, "Building Restricted Areas" (BRA) are defined in ICAO PT/BRA EUR doc
015 to determine whether the physical presence of any obstacle may have an
adverse effect on the availability or quality of signals.
PART 3 -LIMITATIONS OF CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES
A. The Contractor shall control his construction activities and the activities of his Sub-
Contractors and all suppliers so as to provide for the free and unobstructed movement of
aircraft in the Air Operations Areas of the airport and no construction or placing of
materials or equipment shall take place that will penetrate any of the OLS and Other
Restricted Areas as previously defined in Part 2.
B. Any new or projected object, fixed or mobile (such as building, crane, vehicle etc.) that
penetrates any OLS or invade BRA will beforehand require an Aeronautical Study that
shall be conducted by the Contractor. This Aeronautical Study will be developed in
accordance with ICAO applicable regulations and will include:
1. OLS and BRA penetration study.

2. Operational impact in all AIP Flight Procedures while the crane/obstacle is set on
the site.
3. Radioelectric impact analysis of the Navigational Aids affected by BRA penetration,
especially ILS.
4. Safety study to assess the risk introduced by the obstacles.
5. Mitigation measures (Marking and lightning, AIP / NOTAM publishing, change the
design/ features of the object like the size, materials, footprint, etc. especially in case
of radioelectric impact).
The whole Aeronautical Study, including methodology, calculations and final results,
will be delivered to the DGCA and Engineer for its approval, which in return will answer

in a period no longer than 21 calendar days, either with the approval, denial or requesting
for further information.
C. The use of large structures such as construction cranes must be always communicated to
the Airport Authority. In case of such structures penetrate any of the Restricted Areas
defined in Part 2, a proper authorization by the Airport Authority will be required as
indicated above.
D. When the work requires the Contractor to conduct his operations within an Air
Operations Area or through one of the OLS, the work shall be coordinated with the
DGCA at least 72 hours (exact requirements to be confirmed with Airport Authority)
prior to commencement of such work. The Contractor shall not close or enter any of the
Restricted Areas without authorization by the DGCA.
E. Closing an Air Operations Area or starting construction that will penetrate the Obstacle
Limitation Surfaces, is not allowed until the necessary permit is issued by the DGCA and
the mitigation measures such as marking, lighting and the relevant Notice to Airman
(NOTAM) have been issued by Air Traffic Control (ATC).
F. When the Works require the Contractor to work within an Air Operations Area of the
airport on an intermittent basis (intermittent opening and closing of the Air Operations
Area), the Contractor shall maintain constant communications, immediately obey
instructions to vacate the Air Operations Area and obey the instructions to resume work
in such Air Operations Area.
PART 4 -CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES IN AIR OPERATIONS AREAS
A. Prior to the start of any construction activity in the Air Operations Areas, the Contractor
shall submit to the MPW/DGCA/Engineer for approval detailed time schedules and
proposed methods and sequence of construction operations which satisfy all
specifications.
B. The Contractor shall be responsible for all communication, coordination and obtaining of
the necessary approvals and permits from relevant authorities (such as for example, but
not limited to, ATC, DGCA, etc.).
C. For night time works, the Contractor shall erect lighting equipment sufficient to
adequately light the work area. The contractor shall include his proposed lighting system
in his method statements that are submitted for approval.
D. All stationary equipment like hoisting cranes, pile drivers and rolling equipment like
asphalt pavers, rollers, bitumen distributors and other equipment except haul trucks shall
be equipped with artificial illumination to safely illuminate the area immediately
surrounding their work areas.
E. Before the hand-over inspection by the airport authority the contractor shall clean the
work area for any debris or dirt left over from the construction activity. All equipment
and materials shall be removed from air operational areas. However the contractor shall
not demobilize any cleaning equipment, until the airport authority has accepted the
condition of the work area.
F. The Contractor's cleaning equipment shall consist of both mechanical brooms and
powered vacuum cleaners.
G. Vehicles with metal tracks such as excavators and traxcevators have the potential to
damage the surface where the aircraft operate. Vehicles with metal tracks are not to be

driven or stored on concrete apron surfaces at any time unless heavy-duty rope, wooden
mats, rubber tires or rubber mats have been placed under the tracks, or an exemption in
writing has been provided by the airport operations manager.
H. The airport authority or the Engineer may at any time instruct the Contractor to remove
his equipment or stop the works if the equipment or works is considered to endanger
aircraft operations. Such an instruction shall be strictly followed up by the contractor.
