PROJECT BRIEF

PROVISION OF CONSULTANCY SERVICES FOR EAST CAMP

INFRASTRUCTURE & ASSOCIATED WORKS FOR SELETAR AEROSPACE
PARK DEVELOPMENT

1 BACKGROUND OF PROJECT

1.1 Seletar Airport is a general aviation airport and is currently classified as a code 3C
aerodrome. With Asia expecting to double its fleet of aircraft by 2015, demand for
maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and aviation services such as training
will grow correspondingly. In order to capture these high value-added economic
activities, Seletar Airport will be developed into the Seletar Aerospace Park (SAP),
a hub which will house aerospace MRO, design, manufacturing, training and
business and general aviation activities. Seletar Airport will be upgraded to a code
4D aerodrome through the upgrading of existing infrastructure and construction of
new infrastructure in order to support and sustain the growth of the SAP.

1.2 Key facilities within the airport that need to be upgraded and constructed include,
but are not limited to, the following:-

i. Extending and re-grading the runway

ii. Rehabilitating existing runway, taxiways and aircraft parking apron
iii. Constructing new taxiways, aircraft parking aprons, compass swing area
and access roads
iv. Constructing new control tower, fire station
v. Upgrading air traffic control communications network
vi. Installing new instrument landing system

1.3 The existing plan of Seletar Airport and the layout plan of SAP development
depicting the key facilities are shown in Annex F as Figures 1 and 2 respectively.
