AVL CEO Jason Rakau briefs a contingent of NZ-based travel agents on the state of the runway back in June of 2016.
AVL首席执行官杰森拉科在2016年6月向NZ-based的旅行代理商介绍了关于机场跑道扩展后发展计划。
It’s been a year since ground breaking was supposed to happen on the Bauerfield runway repair project. The Daily Post caught with Airports Vanuatu Ltd CEO Jason Rakau for an update. The youthful-looking CEO is quietly confident. Efforts to deal once and for all with safety concerns over Vanuatu’s main airports are gaining momentum, he says.
在Bauerfield跑道维修项目中，破土动工已经有一年了。《每日邮报》的报道在瓦努阿图航空公司首席执行官杰森拉科进行了更新。这位看起来很年轻的CEO平静的自信。他说，在瓦努阿图主要机场的安全问题上，各方都在努力解决这一问题，这一努力正在取得进展。
In a wide-ranging interview with the Daily Post last week, Mr Rakau began by assuring people that even if they weren’t seeing machinery on the tarmac, repairs and upgrades to Bauerfield airport are already underway.
在上周接受《每日邮报》采访时，拉科首先向人们保证，即使他们没有看到停机坪上的机械设备，也已经在进行维修和升级包尔菲尔德机场。
“We’ve already given possession to CCECC. The airport is open for them to start working on, and they’ve actually started working. I think what everyone is looking forward to seeing is the main pavement area, you know, the asphalt being laid and all that.“At this stage I understand it’s still around April—that’s when we’ll get started.
“我们已经给了CCECC的所有权。机场对他们来说是开放的，他们已经开始工作了。我想大家都期待看到的是主要的路面区域，你知道的，沥青铺设的地方等等。“在这个阶段，我知道它还在4月左右——那是我们开始的时候。
The turning nodes at each end of the runway, the shoulders bordering the runway, and the apron area outside the terminal will all have to be increased in size and made more robust in order to cope with the longer wing span and increased mass of the larger wide-body aircraft.
跑道两端的旋转节点、靠近跑道的肩部和终端外的停机坪，都必须增加尺寸，并使其更加坚固，以应付较长的机翼跨度和更大的宽体飞机的质量。
“These are things that they’re already starting to work on to get the sites prepared,” says Rakau, “so that once all the aggregates are here, they’ve got the asphalt plant set up and everything… come April it will basically just be milling up what we already have on the runway and re-laying.
”这些都是他们已经开始准备工作前的基础,“Rakau说,“所以,一旦所有的聚集在这里,CCECC都得到了沥青工厂设置和…4月它将基本上只是铣我们已经在跑道上和再安置。
But that’s not the only upgrade that’s happening. Navigational equipment and facilities are being upgraded, too. A new fire services building is ready to be commissioned, and Narita airport in Japan has donated a powerful new fire-fighting truck.
但这并不是唯一的升级。导航设备和设施也在升级。一幢新的消防服务大楼已准备就绪，日本成田机场已经捐赠了一辆威力强大的新型消防车。
Rakau adds, “We’re also putting in place new runway lights, airfield ground lighting, as well. We’re replacing what we currently have, so that involves having the
trenching works already in place.” Rakau补充道：“我们也在安装新的跑道灯，机场地面照明。我们正在取代现有的东西，这就包括了已经有了挖沟的工作。” AVL expects CCECC to complete work paving the runway within three or four months of breaking ground. Based on an April start date, that would mean the runway itself will be completed in August. CCECC’s deadline is for everything to be complete September. AVL预计，CCECC将在破土动工后的三、四个月内完成铺设跑道的工作。根据4月的开始日期，这意味着跑道将在8月完工。CCECC的最后期限是9月全部完成。 Rakau told the Daily Post, “I asked the [CCECC] manager if they still felt they could meet their September completion date, and he said yes, that’s their target. Rakau在接受每日邮报采访时表示：“我问过CCECC的经理，他们是否还觉得自己能完成9月的竣工日期。他说，是的，这是他们的目标。 “我认为CCECC非常认真地对待这个项目。在一天结束的时候，他们的声誉也会在这条线上。” The runway’s dimensions will not change in this project he said. “Pekoa’s a resurface, actually. No enhancements to the dimensions or capabilities of the current runway. It might have a little bit more strength than it had before after this resurface. Otherwise, it’s just a totally new seal on top.” 他说，在这个项目中，跑道的尺寸不会改变。实际上,“Pekoa重现。没有对当前跑道的尺寸或能力进行增强。它的强度可能比它在重新表面之后的强度要大一些。否则，它只是顶部的一个全新的密封。”目的是让圣塔和端口Vila来编码E规范，并让Tanna达到代码C，这已经被纳入了从基础项目中产生的主计划。 “Our priority is to get the runway done as quickly as possible. If there are any contractual issues, it may be best if we side-line them for the time being and get the project moving ahead. We can address those later on. I think we’ve come to that understanding now. “我们的首要任务是尽快把跑道做好。如果有任何合同问题，如果我们暂时不考虑这些问题，并让项目继续进行下去，那就最好了。我们可以稍后再讨论。我想我们现在已经达成了共识。 “现在的势头比最初的要大得多。“现在比我想象的要好多了。”
“I think CCECC have taken this project quite seriously. At the end of the day, it’s their reputation on the line as well.”
The intention is to get both Santo and Port Vila to Code E specification, and for Tanna to reach Code C. This has been incorporated into the master plan that arose from the base project.
“There’s a lot more momentum now than originally. A lot better working together now than I guess at the beginning.”
