Have you received a request to erect a crane or assess a building request? Enter the data, and you will instantly be able to identify which limitation surfaces are penetrated, and what the operational effect will be.
Process description
Obstacle assessment request: This could be a crane, building, antenna or other
Obstacle input form: position, maximum height and time-period
Enter the information: Into the Ascend Obstacle Assessment solution
Assess impact: Identify if the obstacle is penetrating limitation surfaces
Specialist assessment: If the obstacle is penetrating critical surfaces
Approve obstacle: If possible
Publish: If the obstacle is penetrating limitation surfaces
Validate obstacle: to make sure that height, position and time periods can pass approval
1. Obstacle assessment request
This could be a crane, building, antenna or other. We typically see two types of requests – temporary (cranes and similar) and permanent (buildings, antennas, masts etc.)
2. Obstacle input form
We can set up a web-form where obstacle owners can enter the information, position, maximum height and time-period. View example of the “Obstacle input form” here.
3. Enter the information
Enter the information into the Ascend limitation surface solution. If terrain data is included in your subscription, all you need is the position and height of the object. You can also use the terrain elevation or obstacle maximum elevation, in the event your airport does not have access to terrain data. For information on terrain data,
4. Assess impact
You are now able to identify if the obstacle is penetrating any limitation surfaces.
5. Specialist assessment
