13th Airfield Engineering and Asset Management Summit 2016 (description)

Airports across Asia are developing new runways and expanding existing ones to accommodate the exponential increase in air traffic volumes. Operational airfields are further upgrading and rehabilitating their assets to ensure pavement can withstand new-generation aircraft and overload challenges. Join airport project managers, maintenance heads, airfield managers and pavement engineers from across the region to discuss best practices in airfield expansion and asset management to facilitate safe, efficient airside operations. Key Topics To Be Addressed in 2016 Include: Explore how to balance cost, quality and schedule in delivering world-class airfield expansion projects Discover how to select a pavement material mix that delivers optimal bearing capacity, riding quality and surface friction depending on subgrade soil qualities and environmental conditions Quantify the effects of aircraft performance parameters and traffic volume on pavement deterioration Learn best practices and new technologies in pavement testing and inspection as part of a preventive maintenance strategy Understand how to expedite runway rehabilitation to allow rapid reconstruction through innovative materials such as rapid-set concrete, warm mix asphalt and foamed bitumen base Plus hear project updates, case studies and airfield expansion and rehabilitation initiatives from leading regional and international airports.
