Newcastle International Airport Limited winter upgrade

Newcastle Airport - Apron extension Client: Newcastle International Airport
Value: £ 1.1 million
Duration: 5 Months
Completion: March 2007

Project Brief

Upgrade of existing paved areas within the confines of a busy working airport environment. The scope of the contract was divided into three main working areas:

1) Reconstruction of Alpha Taxiway & the Main Apron

2) Reconstruction of Delta Taxiway

3) Installation of Reinforced Densiphalt on Aircraft Stands

Background to the contract

The increase in traffic and passengers through the airport demands a programme of constant infrastructure upgrade. Tarmac have been undertaking the annual reconstruction and resurfacing contracts at Newcastle International airport since 2003. For this particular contract, the original asphalt construction on the taxiways and apron had reached the end of its useful life and was exhibiting cracking. On the aircraft stands the Hot Rolled Asphalt surface course was deformed, a result of point loading from the aircraft wheels.
