SMEC provided airfield design and engineering works to Canberra Airport to facilitate the introduction of Singapore Airlines’ Boeing B777 operations.

SMEC’s work involved operational assessment of existing Code E Bays 4A & 5A including resign of Bay 5A to accommodate international aircraft servicing requirements and operations., redesigning taxiways, runway operations, tracking simulation, aircraft turn- around analysis and apron parking bays to prepare for the arrival of B777-200 aircraft, and associated servicing requirements.

SMEC also assessed the airspace protection surfaces against the tail heights of the aircraft, updated the B777-200 operating procedures, and provided general regulatory and operational advice.
