This initiative aims to enhance the structure's resilience against severe weather. A site survey identified deficiencies in the existing LPGBS infrastructure compared to FAA-STD-019F Chg. 3 standards, prompting various recommended upgrades. Key actions include replacing shorter air terminals with taller masts, implementing equalization rings, and installing proper bonding for antennas and hatches. The completion of these tasks will occur during both operational and non-operational hours to limit impact on air traffic operations. Required submittals include a project schedule, safety plan, and installation documentation.
