Construction Compliance Office
The Construction Compliance Office is the GTAA authority responsible for:
The governance and development of the Airport Construction Code defining all relevant regulatory and airport compliance requirements for the construction of facilities at Toronto Pearson Airport; and
Verifying compliance of facility construction in accordance with The Airport Construction Code, and specifically:
- facilitates the review of facility project compliance requirements;
- issues permits, and acceptance certificates for implemented projects; and
- coordinates project compliance closeout.
The Construction Compliance Office (CCO) shall for all purposes be deemed to be an independent entity having such jurisdiction to complete its role and is not under the direct or indirect control of the GTAA in method, manner and requirements used to accomplish its mandate of ensuring quality assurance of airport construction.
Airport Construction Code:
The Airport Construction Code is the governing document of standards and regulations adopted by the GTAA. It provides a comprehensive and precise set of requirements to assist in the planning and construction of the following:
- Operational areas and structures controlled by the GTAA
- Land parcels and spaces leased to GTAA tenants
Adherence is mandatory for all Toronto Pearson Airport construction.
The Construction Compliance Office administers its role through this code to regulate design standards and control construction practices of permitted projects.
Construction Permits and Certificates:
The CCO issues a Facility Alteration Permit (FAP) for each construction project based on documented evidence of compliance to the requirements contained within the Airport Construction Code (ACC).
The CCO produces several documents during the design review and construction phase of each project:
- Document Review Notice – compilation of review comments
- Facility Alteration Permit – the actual permit to construct
- Facility Alteration Permit Placard – document that is posted to indicate a permit
- Occupancy/Use Permit – document which allows occupancy or use of the project
- Certificate of Acceptance – final project acceptance document
Each project will receive the appropriate permit or certificate once the CCO has verified that the construction has reached the appropriate state of completion and the supporting documentation has been submitted and reviewed.
