The key scope of the project includes site clearing works, earthworks and geotechnical works, drainage works, runway extension works, the construction of a taxiway and access road, as well as the construction of an Automated Weather System (AWS) Building. The project also involves refurbishment works to the terminal building, mechanical and electrical works, and other supporting works including the installation of security fencing and wind direction indicators.
