Erfurt Airport, Erfurt, Germany

Project type:

• Road

Application: 

• Asphalt pavement (110.000 m²)

Partners: 

• Owner: Erfurt Airport 

The challenge

“Runways are constantly subject to heavy loading and dragging. This causes a lot of wear and tear to the concrete surface of the runway. The airport required a solution that was quick in execution, but meets the high standing load bearing and friction requirements.”

The solution

“Bearing concentrated loads of 150.000 N, Mesh® Track showed the highest bearing capacity of all tested renovation solution. Mesh® Track also provided the most optimal protection against reflective cracking, resulting in a crack-free surface after 20 years.”

Mesh® Track cut the construction time by 40% compared to complete break-out. The contactor was able to install up to 17.500 m² each weekend, finishing the job over the course of six weekends.
