Construction work on airports

Each airport has its own needs in terms of runways, hangers, terminal building, and car parking. All airports share similar types of infrastructure (e.g. runways, taxiways and road and rail links), often at very different scales.

Key environmental issues include:

• foreign object damage (FOD) from litter and debris
• handling of hazardous materials (e.g. diesel, oil)
• noise, vibration and dust having an adverse effect on the immediate environment
• spillages (aviation fuel)
• avoiding damage to aircraft caused by animals (e.g. bird strike).
