The AAAE/ACC Planning, Design, and Construction Symposium is coming to Anaheim in 2023, home to one of the happiest places on earth! COVID-19 had a gigantic impact on airports and air travelers, but our industry has proven to be resilient and transformative. We are excited to present a unique set of state-of-the-art engineering topics, and have gathered a marvelous group of speakers eager to share what they have accomplished. The stage is set for a magical experience for all!
Incorporating Sustainability and Resilience Into Cargo Development During the pandemic, cargo became a vital source of revenue when passenger flights were primarily grounded. However, with the spike in cargo traffic for most airports, the industry now faces a different set of operational challenges. How will they shape the future of airports and cargo operations? Join us to hear lessons learned and best practices developed from several air cargo projects across the nation and the new frameworks that should be considered moving forward.
How to Effectively Budget and Estimate Costs in Times of Escalating Inflation and Supply Chain Issues Time is money! Inflation and supply chain issues have us juggling numbers to keep clients happy. This session will help you to develop an escalation defense plan for your projects so they stay on track and as close to budget as possible.
Airfield Pavement Research, Design, and Technology Curious about the current and upcoming pavement research from the FAA and others? Want to speak like a pro in your next airfield pavement project? Learn about the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) framework to consider environmental impacts and hear about cutting-edge research from the Airport Concrete Pavement Technology Program, the American Concrete Pavement Association, and the Airport Asphalt Technology Program.
Airport Case Histories As the saying goes, those who do not learn from the past are destined to repeat their mistakes. Don’t let this happen to your projects – stay one step ahead by attending this session! Join us for a candid review and discussion of recently finished airside projects featuring the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Airside Engineering Hot Topics This session features FAA Advisory Circular updates that every designer wants to know. Join us to hear practical applications of innovative Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) technology for airside projects and other hot topics in the industry!
On behalf of AAAE, ACC, and the entire 2023 Engineering Track, we look forward to seeing you in Anaheim!
