Renton Municipal Airport Runway PCC Panel Repair Project – Construction Safety and Phasing Plan
1
I. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE
Aviation safety is the primary consideration at airports, especially during construction. The
Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) is a tool used to ensure safety compliance when
coordinating construction activities with airport operations. This document identifies all aspects
of the Renton Municipal Airport Runway PCC Panel Repair Project that pose a potential safety
hazard to airport operations and outlines respective mitigation procedures for each hazard.
This plan has been prepared in accordance with FAA Advisory Circulars (AC) 150/5300-13A,
“Airport Design;” 150/5370-2G, “Operational Safety on Airports During Construction;” and
Northwest Mountain Region NM 5200.3, “Safety Requirements on Airports During Construction
and Maintenance Activities.”
The following objectives must be met by the “team” (comprised of the City of Renton, Engineering
Design Consultant, General Contractor, other consultants, and all subcontractors) in order to
maximize safety and minimize time and economic loss. They include:
· Maintain the safety and integrity of operations on the airport.
· To the greatest extent practical, keep the airport operational for all users.
· Minimize delays for aircraft and construction operations.
· Maximize airport operation and construction activity opportunities.
The “team” must keep these objectives in mind when formulating work schedules and work
activities affecting operations on the airport.

None of these units will be impacted as part of the project. The NAVAID closures will
occur approximately mid-September y through mid-October of 2021.
The contractor must notify the Airport seven (7) days prior to a runway and NAVAID
closure and shutdown. , It is the contractor’s responsibility to protect all NAVAID
facilities within the areas of construction that are not part of the project. As discussed
in Section A.1, the contractor will coordinate NAVAID interruptions with the project
representative during construction to assure that FAA ATO will be coordinated with
to schedule NAVAID shutdown and restart. Interruptions to NAVAID facilities shall
be made known in NOTAMs. See Section A.9 (b) for information on the issuing of
NOTAMs.
5) Contractor Access.
a. Location of Stockpiled Construction Materials. Stockpiled materials and
equipment storage will be restricted to the areas marked as ‘Contractor Staging
Area’ on the attached CSPP drawing. Contractor stockpiled materials and
equipment storage are not permitted within the Runway Safety Areas (RSA), Object
Free Zones (OFZ) or Object Free Areas (OFA) of Runway 16-34. Stockpiled
materials and equipment adjacent to these areas are to be prominently marked and
lighted during hours of restricted visibility or darkness. Materials are to be
stabilized and stored at an approved location so as not to be a hazard to aircraft
operations and to prevent attraction of wildlife and foreign object damage.
b. Vehicle and Pedestrian Operations. Vehicle and pedestrian access routes for
airport construction projects must be controlled to prevent inadvertent or
unauthorized entry of persons, vehicles, or animals onto the AOA.

ii. Construction equipment parking. Contractor employees must park
and service all construction vehicles in ‘Contractor Staging Area.’
Inactive equipment must not be parked on a closed taxiway or runway.
Employees shall park construction vehicles in the designated areas when
not in use by construction personnel (for example, overnight, on
weekends, or during other periods when construction is not active).
iii. Access and haul roads. Construction contractor’s access to the
construction sites and haul roads has been clearly marked on the Work
Area Plans. The construction contractor is not permitted to use any
access or haul roads other than those approved. Access routes used by
contractor vehicles must be clearly marked by contractor to prevent
inadvertent entry to areas open to airport operations.
iv. Marking and lighting of vehicles. As a minimum, Contractor vehicles
shall be marked with company identification (on both sides of the
vehicle) and a flashing amber beacon while operating within the airport
boundary. Contractor vehicles will be required to have an Engineer
approved orange and white checkered flag that shall be mounted on
pickups, rollers, scrapers, dozers, trenchers, and all other Contractor
vehicles and must be visible from 300 feet.
When working at night all construction vehicles working on the airport
(beyond the staging area) shall be equipped with amber strobe lights or
amber rotating beacons. This is required in order to provide adequate
visibility of construction equipment from the air; and from aircraft
taxiing on the ground. Lights shall conform to AC 150/5210-5A
Painting, Marking and Lighting of Vehicles Used on an Airport, latest
edition. Lights may be used during the daylight operations in lieu of the
orange checkered flag specified above.
v. Vehicle operations. Only vehicles used for construction purposes shall
enter the air operations area. Contractor vehicle operations are allowed
only in defined work areas, haul routes, and paved areas closed to
aircraft traffic, unless otherwise approved by the Airport or Engineer in
advance. The contractor is to familiarize all construction personnel with
the safety provisions.

6) Wild life Management. Construction contractors must carefully control and
continuously remove waste or loose materials that might attract wildlife. Contractor
personnel must be aware of and avoid construction activities that can create wildlife
hazards on airports, such as:
a. Trash. Food scraps must be collected from construction personnel activity.
b. Standing Water.
c. Tall Grass and Seeds. Grass seed is attractive to birds. Lower quality seed mixtures
can contain seeds of plants (such as clover) that attract larger wildlife.
d. Poorly Maintained Fencing and Gates.
e. Encounters with Wildlife. If the contractor encounters large to medium sized
mammals (deer, black bear, etc.) within Airport property fencing they are to notify
the project representative during construction.
7) Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Management.
Waste and loose materials, commonly referred to as FOD, are capable of causing
damage to aircraft landing gears, propellers, and jet engines. Construction contractors

WA Utility Notification Center Dispatcher 1-800-424-5555 (or 811)
The contractor shall call FAA prior to excavating or otherwise disturbing FAA owned
utility services or facilities located within the limits of the work. Contractor shall hand
dig at crossings to locate and protect all utilities. If accidental damage occurs, the
Contractor shall notify the Airport, the utility company, FAA, and the Engineer.
12) Penalties. Contractor will make construction personnel familiar with the safety plan.
All contractor and subcontractor personnel are required to comply with the safety plan.
The Contractor will be held responsible for any accident that occurs as a result of
construction personnel not following the provisions of this safety plan.
Strict adherence to the provisions of this plan by all personnel assigned to or visiting
the construction site is mandatory. In the event contractor activities are not in
conformance with the provisions of this plan, the contractor shall immediately cease
those operations involved in the violation of the provisions of this plan and conduct a
safety meeting. The owner may direct the contractor, in writing, to immediately cease
those operations involved in the violation of the provisions of this plan. The contractor
shall not resume construction operations until an appropriate action is taken as
determined by the Owner.
13) Special Conditions. There are no special conditions that affect the operation of the
airport or will require the activation of any special procedures.
14) Runway and Taxiway Visual Aids. Runway 16-34 will undergo temporary closure
during this project. Runway closure crosses will be placed at runway ends during
closures as shown in the construction drawings. Contractor shall furnish, install, and
maintain two (2) temporary closed runway marking (crosses) during the closures. All
temporary signage must be secured in place to prevent movement by prop wash, jet
blast, wing vortices, or other wind currents and constructed of materials that would
minimize damage to an aircraft in the event of inadvertent contact.
Contractor shall set up barricades that define work areas as defined in Section 01300 of
the specs and shown in the CSPP drawing.
15) Marking and Signs for Access Routes. Pavement markings and signs for construction

Federal Highway Administration Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD) and/or State highway specifications. Signs adjacent to areas used by aircraft
must comply with the frangibility requirements of AC 150/5220-23, Frangible
Connections.
16) Hazard Marking, Lighting and Signing.
a. Hazard Marking and Lighting Prevents Pilots from entering areas closed to
aircraft, and prevents construction personnel from entering areas open to aircraft.
Hazard marking and lighting must also be specified to identify open manholes,
small areas under repair, stockpiled material, waste areas, and areas subject to jet
blast.
b. Equipment.
i. Barricades will be used to identify and define the limits of construction
and hazardous areas on airports. Barricade type and placement can be
found in the project Specifications (Section 01300) and CSPP drawing,
both of which have been attached. The spacing of barricades is such that
a breach is physically prevented barring a deliberate act.
ii. Lights must be red and must meet the luminance requirements of the
State Highway Department. Lights must be mounted on barricades and
spaced at no more than 10 ft. Lights must be operated between sunset
and sunrise and during periods of low visibility whenever the airport is
open for operations. They may be operated by photocell, but this may
require that the contractor turn them on manually during periods of low
visibility during daytime hours.
iii. No supplement barricades with signs are needed for the proposed
project.
iv. Air Operations Area – General. Barricades are not permitted in any
active safety area. Within a runway or taxiway object free area, and on
aprons, use orange traffic cones, flashing or steady burning red lights as
noted above, collapsible barricades marked with diagonal, alternating
orange and white stripes; and/or signs to separate all
construction/maintenance areas from the movement area.
v. Air Operations Area – Runway/Taxiway Intersections. Use highly
reflective barricades with lights to close taxiways leading to closed
runways.

vii. Maintenance. In accordance with specification Section 01300 the
contractor is required to have a person on call 24 hours a day for
emergency maintenance of airport hazard lighting and barricades. The
contractor must file the contact person’s information with the airport
operator.
17) Protection of Runway and Taxiway Safety Areas, Object Free Areas, Obstacle Free
Zones, and Approach/Departure Surfaces.
a. Runway Safety Area (RSA). A runway safety area is the defined surface
surrounding the runway prepared or suitable for reducing the risk of damage to
airplanes in the event of an undershoot, overshoot, or excursion from the runway
(see AC 150/5300-13A).
At Renton Municipal Airport, the RSA has the following dimensions:

Construction activities within the existing RSA are subject to the following
conditions:
i. No construction may occur within the existing RSA while the
runway is open for aircraft operations.
ii. Excavations.
a) Open trenches or excavations shall be backfilled and compacted
before the runway is open.
b) Construction contractors must prominently mark open trenches
and excavations at the construction site with red or orange flags, as
approved by the airport operator, and light them with red lights
during hours of restricted visibility or darkness.
iii. Erosion Control. Soil erosion must be controlled to maintain RSA
standards, that is, the RSA must be cleared and graded and have no
potentially hazardous ruts, humps, depressions, or other surface
variations, and capable, under dry conditions, of supporting snow

when not in use. The proposed project does not allow stockpiling within the ROFA.
At Renton Municipal Airport, the ROFA has the following dimensions:
Runway 16-34 500’ in width, 5982’ in length
c. Taxiway Safety Area (TSA). A taxiway safety area is a defined surface alongside
the taxiway prepared or suitable for reducing the risk of damage to an airplane
unintentionally departing the taxiway.
At Renton Airport, the TSA has a width of: 118’
Construction activities within the TSA are subject to the following conditions:
i. No construction activities may occur within the TSA while the taxiway
is open for aircraft operations.
ii. The TSA width will not be adjusted for the proposed project.
iii. Excavations.
a) If required by Airport Operations, open trenches or excavations
are not permitted within the TSA while the taxiway is open.
Excavations are to be backfilled before the taxiway is reopened.
b) If required by Airport Operations, construction contractors
must prominently mark open trenches and excavations at the
construction site with red or orange flags, as approved by the
airport operator, and light them with red lights during hours of
restricted visibility or darkness.
iv. Erosion Control. Soil erosion must be controlled to maintain TSA
standards, that is, the TSA must be cleared and graded and have no
potentially hazardous ruts, humps, depressions, or other surface
variations, and must be capable, under dry conditions, of supporting
snow removal equipment, aircraft rescue and firefighting equipment,
and the occasional passage of aircraft without causing structural
damage to the aircraft.

d. Taxiway Object Free Area (TOFA). Unlike the Runway Object Free Area, aircraft
wings regularly penetrate the taxiway object free area during normal operations.
Thus, the restrictions are more stringent. No construction may occur within the
taxiway object free area while the taxiway is open for aircraft operations.
At Renton Airport, the TOFA has a width of: 166’
e. Obstacle Free Zone (OFZ). Personnel, material, and/or equipment may not
penetrate the OFZ while the runway is open for aircraft operations.
At Renton Municipal Airport, the OFZ has the following dimensions:
Runway 16-34 400’ in width, 5782’ in length
f. Runway Approach/Departure Areas and Clearways. All personnel, materials,
and/or equipment must remain clear of the applicable threshold siting surfaces, as
defined in Appendix 2, “Threshold Siting Requirements,” of AC 150/5300-13A.
18) Other Limitations on Constructi on.
a. Prohibitions.
i. No use of tall equipment (cranes, concrete pumps, and so on) unless a
7460-1 determination letter is issued for such equipment.
ii. No use of open flame welding or torches unless fire safety precautions
are provided and the airport operator has approved their use.
iii. No use of electrical blasting caps on or within 1,000 ft. (300 m) of the
airport property.
iv. No use of flare pots within the AOA.
b. Restrictions. The attached CSPP drawing Notes and Details offers detail on
restrictions on which areas cannot be worked in simultaneously, day/night work
restrictions and other limitations.

airport construction projects. Safety area encroachments, unauthorized and improper ground
vehicle operations, and unmarked or uncovered holes and trenches near aircraft operating
surfaces pose the most prevalent threats to airport operational safety during airport construction
projects. The list below is one tool that the airport operator or contractor may use to aid in
identifying and correcting potentially hazardous conditions. It should be customized as
appropriate for each project including information such as the date, time and name of the person
conducting the inspection.
Table D-1. Potentially Hazardous Conditions
Item Action Required (Describe)
No Action
Required
(Check)
Excavation adjacent to runways, taxiways,
and aprons improperly backfilled.
Mounds of earth, construction materials,
temporary structures, and other obstacles
near any open runway, taxiway, or taxi
lane; in the related Object Free area and
aircraft approach or departure areas/zones;
or obstructing any sign or marking.
Runway resurfacing projects resulting in
lips exceeding 3 inch (7.6 cm) from
pavement edges and ends.
Heavy equipment (stationary or mobile)
operating or idle near AOA, in runway
approaches and departures areas, or in
OFZ.
Equipment or material near NAVAIDs that
may degrade or impair radiated signals
and/or the monitoring of navigation and
visual aids. Unauthorized or improper
vehicle operations in localizer or glide
slope critical areas, resulting in electronic
interference and/or facility shutdown.
Tall and especially relatively low visibility
units (that is, equipment with slim profiles)
— cranes, drills, and similar objects —
located in critical areas, such as OFZ and

Item Action Required (Describe)
No Action
Required
(Check)
approach zones.
Improperly positioned or malfunctioning
lights or unlighted airport hazards, such as
holes or excavations, on any apron, open
taxiway, or open taxi lane or in a related
safety, approach, or departure area.
Obstacles, loose pavement, trash, and other
debris on or near AOA. Construction debris
(gravel, sand, mud, paving materials) on
airport pavements may result in aircraft
propeller, turbine engine, or tire damage.
Also, loose materials may blow about,
potentially causing personal injury or
equipment damage.
Inappropriate or poorly maintained fencing
during construction intended to deter
human and animal intrusions into the AOA.
Fencing and other markings that are
inadequate to separate construction areas
from open AOA create aviation hazards.
Improper or inadequate marking or lighting
of runways (especially thresholds that have
been displaced or runways that have been
closed) and taxiways that could cause pilot
confusion and provide a potential for a
runway incursion. Inadequate or improper
methods of marking, barricading, and
lighting of temporarily closed portions of
AOA create aviation hazards.
Wildlife attractants — such as trash (food
scraps not collected from construction
personnel activity), grass seeds, tall grass,
or standing water — on or near airports.
Obliterated or faded temporary markings
on active operational areas.
Misleading or malfunctioning obstruction
lights. Unlighted or unmarked obstructions
in the approach to any open runway pose
aviation hazards.

Appendix D
D-3
Item Action Required (Describe)
No Action
Required
(Check)
Failure to issue, update, or cancel
NOTAMs about airport or runway closures
or other construction related airport
conditions.
Failure to mark and identify utilities or
power cables. Damage to utilities and
power cables during construction activity
can result in the loss of runway / taxiway
lighting; loss of navigation, visual, or
approach aids; disruption of weather
reporting services; and/or loss of
communications.
Restrictions on ARFF access from fire
stations to the runway / taxiway system or
airport buildings.
Lack of radio communications with
construction vehicles in airport movement
areas.
Objects, regardless of whether they are
marked or flagged, or activities anywhere
on or near an airport that could be
distracting, confusing, or alarming to pilots
during aircraft operations.
Water, snow, dirt, debris, or other
contaminants that temporarily obscure or
derogate the visibility of runway/taxiway
marking, lighting, and pavement edges.
Any condition or factor that obscures or
diminishes the visibility of areas under
construction.
Spillage from vehicles (gasoline, diesel
fuel, oil) on active pavement areas, such as
runways, taxiways, aprons, and airport
roadways.
Failure to maintain drainage system
integrity during construction (for example,
no temporary drainage provided when
working on a drainage system).
12/13/2017 AC 150/5370-2G
Appendix D
D-4
Item Action Required (Describe)
No Action
Required
(Check)
Failure to provide for proper electrical
lockout and tagging procedures. At larger
airports with multiple maintenance
shifts/workers, construction contractors
should make provisions for coordinating
work on circuits.
Failure to control dust. Consider limiting
the amount of area from which the
contractor is allowed to strip turf.
Exposed wiring that creates an
electrocution or fire ignition hazard.
Identify and secure wiring, and place it in
conduit or bury it.
Site burning, which can cause possible
obscuration.
Construction work taking place outside of
designated work areas and out of phase.
