Airport Runway Rehabilitation

Client: Regional Airport Authority
Challenge: The airport needed a complete resurfacing of its main runway to handle increasing aircraft weight and frequency. FAA safety standards and strict completion timelines had to be met.

Solution: Asphalt Roadway implemented a high-performance, jet fuel–resistant asphalt mix with precision laser grading to ensure perfect smoothness. Work was conducted in tight nighttime windows to keep the runway operational during the day.

Results:

• Project completed 2 weeks ahead of schedule
• Runway friction coefficient improved by 15% (enhancing aircraft braking safety)
• FAA compliance passed on the first inspection

Key Takeaway: With the right mix design, scheduling, and execution strategy, even high-stakes infrastructure like airport runways can be upgraded quickly without compromising safety or compliance.
