Which department handles heavy construction equipment and runway/taxiway construction and maintenance?

• A. Electrical
• B. Operations Support
• C. Pavements/Equipment
• D. Maintenance Engineering

Answer: (C)

This item tests which department handles heavy construction equipment and runway/taxiway construction and maintenance. Heavy construction gear like bulldozers, graders, rollers, and paving machines are used to build and repair runways and taxiways, so the department that organizes and maintains that fleet and oversees pavement projects is Pavements/Equipment. They’re responsible for the airfield’s surface work and the heavy equipment rental and maintenance needed to keep runways and taxiways in good condition. The Electrical department focuses on lighting and electrical systems; Operations Support covers daily airfield operations and planning; Maintenance Engineering provides engineering support and standards but not the hands-on construction or fleet management. So Pavements/Equipment is the best fit.
