Airfield Paving & Airside Services
Precision is critical in the evaluation, planning, construction, rehabilitation or replacement of airfield pavements. Because a significant percentage of your airport improvement program likely goes toward runways, taxiways and aprons, you want to develop lasting solutions. In the tightly-controlled airside environment, you also need them to be implemented with minimal operational impact.
Our team has experience to guide you through all airfield paving challenges. We understand the critical step of material selection, particularly in thoroughly considering whole-life costing and performance. We test and analyze existing pavements using PAVER and both destructive and nondestructive testing. We also manage construction activities, including reviewing airfield mix designs and ensuring quality control.
Our detail-oriented approach extends to all elements of a flat-work project, including drainage, striping, lighting, signage and navigational aid (NAVAID) design.
Pavement Management to Plan Your Airport’s Future
As runways show signs of age, airports ramp up pavement work. Often, solutions begin at the surface. Our meticulous approach to pavement management systems gives airport operators a thorough understanding of current pavement conditions, allowing them to make smart, defensible and cost-effective decisions about maintenance and rehabilitation activities.
We rely on mobile data technology — often custom-tailored to a specific project — to safely and efficiently perform each inspection with minimal impact on existing airport operations. Part of the solution is making this data more easily accessible. We’ve developed online portals that allow airport owners to easily view pavement conditions, economic impacts, systems plans and 3D animations.
