Airfield Pavement Inspections
Airfield pavements are exposed to high stresses during their projected lifetime, which inevitably leads to a decrease of their condition over time. As one of the vital assets of an airport, pavements in good condition do not only cater for safety but also for business continuity. To make sure airfield pavements provide sufficient bearing strength and ensure uninterrupted and resilient operations, it is of utmost importance to monitor their condition and conduct regular inspections.
This two-day course focusses on the regulatory requirements for pavement monitoring and maintenance as well as the factors influencing pavement inspections. Moreover, the course shows an approach to successfully plan coordinated pavement inspections and how to deal with the different damages one can find on aerodrome movement areas.
The course has been specifically developed for aerodrome infrastructure, maintenance, and operations personnel as well as personnel of civil aviation authorities, civil engineers, architects and other contractors.
As a central part of this course, airsight offers to conduct a half day pavement inspection exercise on site - on your aerodrome’s movement area.
Please note: This course can also be booked as an in-house version in German - however, the course material is only available in English.
