Event Description/Abstract
In this session we discuss the rehabilitation of Runway 9-27, which over its lifetime had been piecemealed and overlaid multiple times, resulting in a non-homogenous structure with pavement failures much sooner than the most recent 20-year design life expectancy. Testing showed that many of the distresses were full-depth, and total reconstruction was necessary. Because of its cost-effectiveness, we chose FDR. The project was extremely successful and is now being considered at other airports around the state.
