Rising traffic \u2014 driven in particular by low-fare carriers \u2014 and the need to comply with new EASA regulations had both made the work necessary. The defining constraint was that the airport had to keep operating, which meant identifying the refurbishment strategy that minimised closure, and that in turn depended on knowing precisely what the existing pavement layers could offer. With the pavement design settled, layout, profiles, sections, ground lighting and markings followed, and a very detailed staging plan allowed construction to be completed in forty-five days without impacting traffic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column mcb-column one column_info_box \">\n<div class=\"infobox\">\n<h3>Focus<\/h3>\n<div class=\"infobox_wrapper\">\n<ul>\n<li>Ground penetrating radar to assess the thickness of each pavement layer<\/li>\n<li>Coring at selected points for laboratory testing, with DCP for subgrade CBR<\/li>\n<li>HWD testing for elastic moduli and residual life<\/li>\n<li>Design trials across several material combinations in FAARFIELD and COMFAA<\/li>\n<li>Pavement PCN evaluation<\/li>\n<li>Runway, taxiway and apron layout, profiles and sections<\/li>\n<li>Rigid and flexible pavement design<\/li>\n<li>Airfield ground lighting and markings<\/li>\n<li>Bills of quantities<\/li>\n<li>Value engineering to identify the optimal cost solution<\/li>\n<li>Detailed staging plan for construction within a live airport<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renovation and upgrade of new pavements for runway, taxiway and apron<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1517,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4064","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-portfolio-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
