Airport Engineering

Airport Engineering (Teknik Bandara)
Airport engineering is complex engineering or sciense, if you want to build a new international airport or carry out expansion, you will need so many engineer (integrated) that will involve the engineers as follows : civil, structure, architecture/building, mechanical, electrical, fuel, electronic, navigation, meteorological and also economic. For design and construction of new international airport you will have to provide some study like : feasibility Study, Basic Design, Master Planning, Detail engineering etc.

ICAO (international Civil Aviation Organization) and FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) provide many standards and references that you have to provide before carry out design and construction of the new airport. ICAO issued reference standard from Annex 1 to Annex 18 and also for design reference. These ICAO standard can not download from the internet, you have to registered or buy. For FAA reference you can download free from the website of FAA, http://www.faa.gov/.

In the next article I will upload some design and construction procedure/practice of the airport infrastructures like runway, taxiway apron and other facilities, especially for the students or colleges to improve their knowledge regarding the airport engineering, construction and operation.
