ADAPTATION OF WROCŁAW AIRPORT TO HIGHER ILS CATEGORY AND POST-IMPLEMENTATION EVALUATION

All design works were carried out in full compliance with the requirements for Airport Reference Code 4D and Operational Category II (CAT II).

Following the completion of the project, Wrocław-Strachowice Airport obtained certification from the Polish Civil Aviation Authority, authorizing: Take-off operations in low visibility conditions (LVTO, RVR< < 125 m) and Landing operations in low visibility conditions (LVO, RVR ≤ 300 m), in accordance with Category II (CAT II) operational requirements.

The project was delivered under a design & build contract.

Scope of Services Provided:

  1. Development of a multi-disciplinary design for the rehabiliation of the runway, including the adaptation of airfield ground markings and navigation aids to comply with the requirements of ICAO Annex 14.
  2. Preparation of a construction phasing plan, including: Operational continuity analysis, Aircraft movement passability studies, Definition of safety zones, obstacle limitation surfaces (OLS), Operational restrictions due to the presence of temporary or permanent obstacles.
  3. Dynamic analysis of aircraft ground movements within the maneuvering area and take-off climb area, aimed at: Optimizing the temporary reduction of runway length and determining the most efficient use of the maneuvering area during runway renovation works.
  4. Design of a rapid exit taxiway from Runway 11, including all required supporting infrastructure.
  5. Design of an aircraft de-icing apron at Taxiway C (DK-C), together with the necessary associated infrastructure.


The design documentation included: Construction and detailed design, technical specifications for works execution, bill of quantities (BoQ) and cost estimates and all required technical reports, studies, and supporting documentation.
