GIBB’s Responsibilities:
ACSA appointed GIBB to undertake studies of air traffic, geometric design, pavement engineering, drainage and stormwater engineering, runway asphalt friction solutions and lighting design.

This was for the rehabilitation of the pavement of the existing runways and associated taxiways at the East London Airport, following International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) compliance.

The works primarily entailed the milling of existing asphalt layers, asphalt inlay and geometric and/or structural overlays, improvement of runway end safety areas (RESA), as well as side strips where required.

All pavement work was carried out at night between 21h30 and 05h00 which met the requirement that the airside infrastructure be fully operational at the end of each night shift.

Client:
Government of Eswatini

Location:
Eswatini

GIBB’s Responsibilities:
The Sikuphe International Airport is situated in the Lowlands of Eswatini. GIBB was appointed as the consultant responsible for the design of the airport’s critical structures.

These included the air traffic control tower, the air traffic support building and the fire station. The control tower’s unique design is that it is built on a ground level below the runway, yet is capable of reaching high enough for the ends of the runways to be visible.

It is therefore a much taller tower than typical airport towers, with a total height of 57 m. This height presented design challenges which were overcome by GIBB.
