Airport Apron and Runway Rehabilitation, Asia

Due to a surge in air travel demand and efforts to reduce strain on the nation's busiest civilian airport, plans are in motion to construct four airport runways, catering to up to 100 million passengers annually. The airport is set to become a pivotal international aviation hub.

Airport aprons and runways face challenges such as potential reflective cracking and damage between the base and surface layers. Load distribution issues are also a major concern.

ACETex^® DPF, a nonwoven geotextile made from PP continuous filament yarn, serves as a solution to these problems. When positioned between the base and surface layers, it disperses loading evenly, curtails reflective cracking, and ensures structural integrity. This not only mitigates the risk of malfunction but also strengthens aprons and runways against the stresses imposed by airplanes and vehicles. Moreover, the permeability of ACETex^® DPF aids water flow while holding back soil particles, effectively thwarting soil erosion and movement.

Utilizing ACETex^® DPF for separation and filtration markedly enhances the stability and integrity of apron and runway structures. It prolongs the durability of the pavement foundation and curtails maintenance needs. This method also streamlines the installation and hastens the construction timeline. Thus, ACETex^® DPF embodies a holistic and efficient solution.
