Risk Assessment: Coordination with GTAA: GTAA reviews the shutdown request and conducts a risk assessment to ensure that the shutdown will not interfere with ongoing airport operations, safety, or passenger services.
Impact on Airport Operations: The approvers will review how the shutdown may impact critical areas like terminal operations, air traffic, or safety systems, and ensures that alternative measures are in place (e.g., temporary fire protection or power backups).
For shutdown activity related questions please send to: ZZG-MaintenancePlanning@gtaa.com.
Discussion with GTAA: Prior to the scheduled shutdown, the contractor may be required to attend a coordination meeting with the Maintenance Technical Center and other relevant departments to finalize details, confirm roles, and review contingency plans.
On the Day of Work:
- Final Coordination: Contractors must notify the Airport Operations Center (AOC) just before the shutdown begins to confirm that all necessary precautions have been taken.
- System Monitoring: GTAA staff may monitor the shutdown process to ensure it adheres to the permit conditions.
- Completion: Ensure the system is restored by the end of each shift unless prior approval is given for a longer shutdown period.
System Reinstatement:
- Post-Shutdown Inspection: Once the work is complete, the system must be tested and verified to be fully operational. This is typically coordinated with GTAA staff.
- Reporting: Contractors must report to the AOC to confirm that the system has been fully restored to operational status.
