Airport Construction

International hubs with stringent requirements

Airports are state-of-the-art centres for the international flow of goods and important hubs for business travellers and tourists from all over the world. As such, the requirements that need to be met when building a new airport or redeveloping/expanding an existing one are extremely demanding.

New airport construction

Regardless of the airport’s size and cargo or passenger volume, special safety requirements always apply. And when building a new airport, this begins with the right sub-base. When constructing runways, taxiways, aprons, and parking bays, particularly high standards of quality need to be met when it comes to the bearing capacity, properties, and durability of the bed and the surface layer. And runways are only allowed to have slight slope angles of a few degrees.

Airport redevelopment and airport expansion

In the case of airport redevelopment or expansion projects, the construction work must be carried out in tight time slots during ongoing operations. Reliable machines, well-trained machine operators, application knowledge, and seamless material logistics are decisive factors in such a project.
