Saint John Airport Inc. commissioned WSP to develop a Climate Change Risk Assessment and Environmental Management Resiliency Strategy. The assessment is a risk-management approach to understand the likelihood and consequences of how future climate change events may affect infrastructure components and operations. The Saint John Airport serves the City of Saint John, New Brunswick, and accommodates about 280,000 passengers annually, with annual revenues of over $7 million. The airport consists of two runways, five taxiways, and the associated infrastructure (i.e., … Lire la suite

Penticton Airport Climate Change Risk Assessment Report
Author adminPosted on
The objective of this project is to review and analyse the design and construction of the existing mechanical, electrical and transportation infrastructure against anticipated changes in climate parameters as a result of climate change specific to the Penticton Airport and surrounding regions. Based on this analysis, the Prism team assessed the engineering vulnerability of the identified infrastructure and provide recommendations that will support Transport Canada in their future planning and project implementation for the Penticton Airport.

ASSESSMENT OF TORONTO PEARSON AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE
Author adminPosted on
The GTAA decided to undertake an engineering vulnerability assessment of infrastructure in the context of both the existing climate and future climate change using the PIEVC Protocol. The Protocol is a step-by-step process to conduct an engineering vulnerability assessment on infrastructure due to climate change. Potential issues and concerns arising from changing climate: Airport infrastructure is considered vulnerable to the types of weather related stresses that will be exacerbated by climate change; Climate change could threaten airport infrastructure; Potential flooding … Lire la suite
