 TO SUM UP

 THE FORECAST WAS GENERALLY BEING FOLLOWED, BEFORE

GLOBAL RECESSIONARY PHASE.
 THE GLOBAL RECESSION, PLANNING FOR CONSTRUCTION OF
NEW TERMINAL AND UPGRADING OF RUNWAY FOR “CODE F”,
LIKELIHOOD OF INTRODUCTION OF AB380 ON EUROPEAN
ROUTE, PLANS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF NEW RUNWAY OF
3000M LENGTH AT RODRIGUES ARE SOME OF THE CHANGES
WHICH AFFECTED THE ASSUMPTIONS OF 2006 FORECAST.
 THE TOURIST TRAFFIC, THE TOTAL PASSENGERS (E/D), AND
THE AIRCRAFT MOVEMENTS PROJECTED FOR BASE CASE ARE
LIKELY TO BE DEFERRED BY APPROX. 4-5 YEARS. THE
ACTUAL REALISATION WILL BE MORE NEAR TO LOW CASE.
 1.5 MILLION TOURIST ARRIVALS ARE LIKELY TO BE REALISED
IN 2019-2020. THE INCREASE IN TOURIST TRAFFIC MAY
SHOW RESISTANCE TO INCREASE ONCE A 1.5 MILLION
TOURIST ARRIVAL FIGURE IS REALISED.

 TAXIWAY
– 2 TAXIWAYS INITIALLY PROPOSED
– ADDITIONAL TAXIWAY CONNECTING THE 14THRESHOLD
INCLUDED AS DESIRED BY AML
– EXISTING ILS REQUIRE RELOCATION
 ARFF
– EXISTING CATEGORY 9
– REQUIRED CATEGORY 10 FOR A380
– NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED TO 10 IN FUTURE
– WILL JUST MEET THE RESPONSE TIME FROM EXISTING STATION
– BETTER TO HAVE DEDICATED FIRE STATION IF CONTINUOUS
OPERATIONS ARE INTENDED ON 2ND RUNWAY
 CONTROL TOWER
– HAS AN EYE ELEVATION OF 80 M AMSL
– ADEQUATE FOR 2ND RUNWAY ALSO
 CAT-II APPROACH

FOR TAKE-OFF AND LANDING OF WIDE BODIED AIRCRAFT
 SHOULD BE EXTENDED ATLEAST TO 2900 M TO SERVE AS 2ND
RUNWAY IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
 THE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TAXIWAY SHALL BE
DESIGNED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF RUNWAY
 ONLY VFR OPERATIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE
 THE PARKING APRON IN FRONT OF THE EXISTING TERMINAL
BUILDING WILL REQUIRE RECONFIGURATION
 THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER & CARGO BUILDING WILL
BE OBSTRUCTIONS
 OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE APPROACH NEEDS FURTHER

 LAND ENVIRONMENT

– THE TOPOGRAPHY IS UNDULATING AND HAS A SLOPE OF ABOUT 1 IN

100 TOWARDS BLUE BAY. THESE SLOPES ARE NOT VENERABLE TO
SOIL EROSION.
– THE THICKNESS OF OVER BURDEN VARIES BETWEEN 0.95 M TO 2.88
M ALONG THE RUNWAY. THE SOILS ARE BROWN GRAVELLY MEDIUM
PLASTICITY CLAY UP TO A DEPTH OF 1.0
– BASED ON SOIL CHARACTERISTICS, LAND USE AND RAINFALL,
PASTURE MEASURES IN THE AREA FOR SOIL CONSERVATION MAY BE
ALRIGHT. BASED ON THESE MEASURES, THE SOIL EROSION RATE
WILL BE 0.034 TONS / HA/ YEAR. THE EROSION RATES HAVE BEEN
CLASSIFIED AS VERY LOW (TOLERABLE). THE AVERAGE EROSION
WILL BE ABOUT 9.06 TONS PER YEAR FOR THE PROPOSED
ADDITIONAL AREA FOR 2ND RUNWAY.
– THE OVER BURDEN TOP SOIL SHALL BE STORED FOR REUSE TO
AVOID ANY LEACHING OF NUTRIENTS IN WATER BODY DURING
RAINFALL. THE LAND USE CHANGE FROM AGRICULTURE WILL
REDUCE PESTICIDE AND OTHER POLLUTANTS IN SOIL / WATER.
– MUCK IF ANY SHALL BE DISPOSED AND SITE SHALL BE VEGETATED.
 WATER ENVIRONMENT
 THE TOTAL WATER REQUIREMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION IS 62.0 M3/DAY.
 TO DRAW WATER FROM LA CHAUX RIVER AND ITS FEEDERS, PERMISSION FROM
THE SUPREME COURT OF MAURITIUS SHALL BE REQUIRED AS PER SECTION 22
AND SECTION 25 OF PART I
 ABOUT 70 CONTRACTORS LABOR WILL BE WORKING DURING CONSTRUCTION,
CONTRACTOR SHALL MAKE ARRANGEMENT FOR SANITATION (SEPTIC TANK AND
SOAK PIT) 12 CUM /DAY AND SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL FACILITIES (28 KG/DAY)
 WATER ANALYSIS IN LA CHAUX RIVER AND BLUE BAY HAS INDICATED OIL &
GREASE POLLUTION AS NIL.
 DIVERSION OF WATER SUPPLY AND OTHER LINES PASSING THROUGH THE AREA.
 DRAINS FOR STORM WATER RUNOFF WITH BALANCING PONDS AT 500M WITH
OIL AND GREASE SKIMMING TANK / TRAP WITH UNLINED AT BOTTOM.

 THE NOISE LEVELS INDICATE THAT NOISE AT THE START OF

RUNWAY IS 59 TO 90 DB(A)
 THE BACKGROUND LEVEL IS VARYING FROM 41 TO 49
DB(A)
 THE DAY AND NIGHT AVERAGE NOISE LEVEL ABOVE 55
DB(A) WILL BE COVERING HALF OF BLUE BAY
CONSERVATION AREA, BLUE BAY RESIDENTIAL AREA, AND
COMPLETE AIRPORT AREA.
 THE 55 DB(A) WEIGHTED MAX LEVEL WILL BE COVERING
MUCH LARGER AREA. THIS AREA SHOULD BE PLANNED AS
LESS POPULATION AREA IN FUTURE PLANNING PROCESS
ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

 THERE ARE 72 FISH, 38 CORAL, TWO MANGROVES AND 31

SPECIES OF ALGAE ARE REPORTED. OUT OF THESE DURING
SURVEY 51 FISH SPECICES WERE IDENTIFIED AND 39 ARE IN
ABUNDANCE IN BLUE BAY CONSERVATION AREA.
 DENSITY OF FISH IS MAX-1,273 FISH / 100 SQM AND MIN 11
FISH/100 SQM
 14 SPECIES OF AVIAN FAUNA IN THE AREA HAS BEEN
OBSERVED DURING SURVEY, NO BIRDS MIGRATORY ROUTE
 ABOUT 5.5 HA OF FOREST WILL BE LOST DUE TO RUNWAY
LIGHTING IN LA CHAUX RIVER AND ABOUT 2500 MAJOR
TREES DUE TO LAND ACQUISITION. THIS WILL FORCE THE
BIRDS TO SHIFT THEIR HABITAT.
 NO IMPACT IS ANTICIPATED DUE TO 2ND RUNWAY ON BLUE
BAY MARINE CONSERVATION PARK.

RISK ASSESSMENT
 RISK ASSESSMENT
 LAND ACQUISITION
– LAND FOR THE RUNWAY AND DIVERSION OF ROAD IS STILL TO BE
ACQUIRED. NON-AVAILABILITY OF LAND IS A POTENTIAL RISK

 NON-AVAILABILITY OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

– IMPORTANT MATERIAL LIKE BITUMEN IS TO BE IMPORTED. NON-
AVAILABILITY OR SCARCITY OF BITUMEN AT SOURCE COUNTRY
WILL LEAD TO TIME AND COST OVERRUNS

 PROJECT FUNDING RISK

– PROJECT HAS TO BE FINANCED THROUGH LOANS. NON-
AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS IS A POTENTIAL RISK IN PROJECT
IMPLEMENTATION

 OPERATIONAL RISK
– OBSTACLES IN THE APPROACH AND LA-CHAUX RIVER AT THE END
OF 32 RUNWAY (14 END) ARE POTENTIAL RISKS. SUITABLE
APPROACH PROCEDURES ARE TO BE PREPARED.
– REACHING OF CFR FROM THE EXISTING LOCATION WILL BE A RISK
IF BOTH THE RUNWAYS ARE OPERATIONAL. DEDICATED CFR IS TO
BE STATIONED FOR THE SECOND RUNWAY TO MINIMIZE LOSSES.
– PRESENCE OF LA-CHAUX RIVER AT 14 END.
 CONCLUSIONS

1. CONSTRUCTION OF 2ND RUWAY IS TECHNICALLY FEASIBLE FOR

LANDING OF ALL WIDE BODIED AIRCRAFTS IN OPERATION & A-380.
2. TAKE OFF OF WIDE BODIED AIRCTAFTS WITH LIMITED PAYLOAD
3. CAT-II APPROACH FEASIBLE WITH SIMILAR DISPENSATIONS AS FOR
MAIN RUNWAY- WILL BE DEVIATION FROM ICAO.
4. ATC ELEVATION ADEQUATE FOR 2ND RUNWAY ALSO.
5. COST OF THE PROJECT WILL BE 3335.09 MILLION MUR (INCLUSIVE OF
ESCALATION FOR PLANNING AND EXECUTION PERIOD AND LAND COST)
6. TOTAL DIRECT AND INDIRECT THROUGH PUT OF AIRPORT BASED AND
DEPENDENT ENTITIES IS 64.59 BILLION AGAINST 27.92 BILLION IN
1999 (8.5% INCREASE ANNUALLY) . CREATION OF JOBS INCREASED TO
40592 AGAINST 26300 IN 1999 (4.4% INCREASE ANNUALLY).
JUSTIFYING THE APPREHENSION OF EFFECT ON ECONOMY. MULTIPLIER
FACTOR IS 1.86 AGAINST 1.87 BY UNIVERSITY OF MAURITIUS
Conclusions- (Contd.)

7. TOTAL IMPACT OF RUNWAY CLOSURE IN PEAK

PERIOD WILL BE 4441 MILLION MUR (35% MORE
THAN PROJECT COST)- 1.5% OF GDP. THE LOSS WILL
GROW AS EARNINGS FROM TOURISTS HAVE BEEN
INCREASING AT HIGHER RATE THAN GDP GROWTH.
8. THERE WILL NOT BE ANY ADVERSE IMPACT ON
ENVIRONMENT WITH APPROPRIATE MANAGEMENT
PLANS.

9. PROJECT SHOWS A RETURN OF 10.54 % WITH A

UDF OF 200 MUR AND 3.66% WITH UDF OF 100
MUR (ONLY ON INTL DEPARTING PASSENGERS)
 RECOMMENDATIONS

1. THE NECESSACITY TO MITIGATE THE

EVER PRESENT RISK OF MAIN RUNWAY
BEING UNAVAILABLE WARRANTS
CONSTRUCTION OF 2ND RUNWAY-
SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED AS PART
OF DISASTER MANAGEMNT PLAN FOR
THE NATION- ON TOP PRIORITY BASIS.
