Scope of Project Tracy Saunders, P.E., C.M., Delta Airport Consultants, Inc.
Safety Risk Management Terry Page, P.E. Delta Airport Consultants, Inc.
Why Conduct Safety Risk Management? a. b. Identifies Potential Hazards Before Project Starts c. Discuss Potential Design Changes to Avoid Risks (Rather than CO s) d. Enhances Airport Safety for Airlines and Contractor e. Satisfies requirements of FAA Order 5200.11 f. Protects the Airport Owner* Provides a forum to brief all stakeholders on the project (* Consult an attorney on this one)
Safety Risk Management: The Steps a. b. Define and Describe the Project c. Identify Preliminary List of Potential Hazards d. Analyze and Assess Risks with a Matrix e. Develop Hazard Mitigation Plan f. Incorporate into Project Phasing / Design Convene Safety Assessment Panel of Experts
Safety Risk Management: CLT Taxiway M a. b. Assessed where hazards could result in unacceptable risks c. Identified realistic mitigation measures d. Re-assessed risk level with mitigation in place e. Provided guidance to project engineers to revise plans f. Documented the results of the Workshop Workshop panel identified potential credible hazards

Safety Risk Management: Taxiway M Results Stakeholders were made aware of the project work areas, impacts and schedule b. The construction phasing layout was revised to separate construction vehicles further from aircraft c. The construction phasing reduced the number of flaggers needed d. Overall, we believe aircraft efficiency and safety were enhanced a.
Safety Risk Management: Resources Consider Using FAA s Hazard Assessment Tools: FAA Order 5200.11, Safety Management Systems https://www.faa.gov/airports/airport_safety/safety_management_ systems/ Office of Airports, FAA SMS Desk Reference contains Safety Assessment process guidance along with a sample and blank templates
Project Phasing Tracy Saunders, P.E., C.M., Delta Airport Consultants, Inc.
Overall Project Phasing Phasing Philosophy Complete haul route / gate construction, then pave out to the south. Base Bid 180 Calendar Days Liquidated Damages: $10,000 per calendar day will be assessed against the Contractor for each calendar day or portion thereof that the total contract time is exceeded. $2,500 per calendar day will be assessed against the Contractor for each calendar day or portion thereof that specific milestones are exceeded.
CLT FAA / ATCT Surface Team Scott O Halloran, FAA CLT ATCT Support Specialist
Mission / Efforts Established in 2012, the mission of the CLT Surface Team is to enhance the safety and efficiency of the Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Our efforts include designing new traffic flows to reduce delays associated with limited ramp space, identifying and mitigating ramp congestion, identifying strategic places to hold delayed airport, and to coordinate upcoming construction projects and temporary closures with airport personnel and stakeholders.
Makeup Members FAA 2 National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) and 2 Management Industry Dedicated Support: Subject Matter Expert (SME) as requested Support Staff specialist, Traffic Management Coordinator (TMC) and Operations Manager (OM) Airport Operations FAA Tech Ops
Secret to Surface Team Success a. b. Transparency c. Open-minded d. FAA Team Members have equal authority and have approval rights for Surface Team e. AA Ramp Tower collaboration with FAA Surface Team f. Recognize and learn from partial successes g. Initiate lessons learned discussion / process Collaboration
Rehabilitate Taxiway M Collaboration a. b. Identified risks with preliminary construction haul route and potential for FOD c. Final solution mitigated and reduced risk to both aircraft and construction personnel d. Potential for FOD area was also greatly reduced Participation in Safety Risk Management Workshop
Rehabilitate Taxiway M Collaboration Originally Proposed Haul Route
Rehabilitate Taxiway M Collaboration Final Haul Route
Takeaways The future success of our aviation industry requires a shared endeavor We are a Team b. ATC should be viewed as a partner of the system users a.
