Long-term Monitoring of High Performance Airfield Pavement Surfacing

This paper presents in service performance for seven regional and major international airports in the UK, covering different performance related runway surface courses, from the time of installation to in service. The wet friction monitoring at these airports was carried out by using Continuous Friction Measurement Equipments (CFME) over 6 years in service. Longer temporary total ungrooved runway lengths have been successfully adopted at several UK airports where the authors were involved in the resurfacing work, without any issue associated with the early-life surface friction; this resulted in early completion, reduced airfield down time and cost saving. Records to date, demonstrating the ability of well-designed surfacing material to maintain very good friction characteristics since the opening of the runways, are also presented.
