  1. FAA 29th ANNUAL AIRPORT CONFERENCE

  2. Items To Be Covered • Presenter’s Background • Structured Design • Unstructured Design • Design Activities • Special Concerns • Lessons Learned • Benefits • Project Support • Examples • Conclusion

  3. Mark M. DikunBergmann AssociatesProject Manager • 32 years in Engineering (9 in Aviation) • Defense, Municipal and Industrial Fields • Design, Fabrication, Configuration Management, Department Manager, Project Manager and QA/QC Regional Manager

  4. Aviation Engineering DesignMethodology

  5. Structured Design • Common Design Structure/Process • Detailed Information • Unity and Consistency in Design • Ability to Question/Adjust/Change • Ease of Staff Support • Documented Process for New Staff/Training • Client’s Recommend and Request You

  6. Unstructured Design • Wasted Manpower • Design Issues not covered • Incomplete knowledge of work effort • Poor documentation of project • Communications never happens during design • Open design issues not documented • Many RFI’s to respond to • Bad name for all involved

  7. Design Activities • Read and Understand Complete Scope of Work • Review Existing Design Documentation • Review required FAA Specifications/Circulars • Formulate Plan for Design Effort (In Writing) • Plan is Reviewed and Approved • Execute • Keep Project Manager Aware of Progress and Design Issues • Design is only complete when you are satisfied with all items and responses • Facility Review of the Design for Potential Problems and Issues

  8. Special Concerns • Review Existing Documentation then Conduct a Field Visit to Confirm Data • Obtain Current survey plan of work area • Talk to Facility Personnel about Current Problems • Talk between Engineering Disciplines to keep everyone “In The Loop” • Access and Review to Previous Meetings Minutes and Issues • Be involved with all Project Activities • Document in one place, any issue that effects your design

  9. Lessons Learned • Design Standards are never Cast in Concrete • Standard Details always need adjustment on Your Specific Project • Client wants the job out but the facility wants it constructible • Last minute inputs ALWAYS effects the complete design • If you can not find or see it – Assume the worse field condition • Never trust design or As-Built Documentation without verifying it in the field • Never take anyone’s word that the design is correct unless you are 100% satisfied

  10. Benefits • 90% of the Design and Documentation is finished within 50% of original Design Budget • Additional Time to Investigate Issues that effect the Final Design • Additional Time to Fine Tune the design to avoid construction hold ups or shut downs • Client is satisfied with your design

  11. Project Support • Keep eyes open during Field Visits • Address items found that need to be corrected • Review all items in the area of your design • Request direction from Field Staff on projects in the area and vicinity • Make sure you bring the proper equipment into the field • Don’t forget the rope

  12. EXAMPLE 1 - NEW EQUIPMENT ADDED IN THE FIELD

  13. EXAMPLE 2 - FOUNDATIONS WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN REMOVED

  14. EXAMPLE 3 - NO LIGHTS ON SHIPS LADDER IN ORIGINAL FIELD SURVEY

  15. EXAMPLE 3 - NOW THE LIGHTS ARE THERE AND OUR DESIGN IS NOT IN CONSTRUCTION

  16. EXAMPLE 4 - WHERE ARE THE SPARE CONDUITS?

  17. EXAMPLE 5 - THE MANHOLES USE TO BE HERE

  18. Conclusion • Complete and Thorough Design • All issues investigated and resolved • Any open project / design issues are documented and not hidden • Engineering is 100% even if drawings are not • Ease of construction with no stops or delays • Less time involved by facility personnel • Little or No RFI’s (Request For Information) • Construction Manager’s request YOU
