Runway & Apron Concrete Joint Resealing
Estimating, Cost Planning, Quantity Surveying
Project overview
Systematic preservation eliminating aircraft safety risks.
Systematic resealing of concrete bay joints across runway and apron areas to control Foreign Object Damage (FOD) and prolong pavement life. Over time, joint sealants deteriorate due to UV exposure, thermal cycling and aircraft loads — allowing water infiltration and foreign object debris to enter joints.
FOD — loose debris such as stones, gravel or torn sealant — poses serious risks to aircraft safety, including engine damage and tire cuts. Effective joint sealing is critical to minimizing FOD and maintaining pavement integrity. The programme was carefully sequenced to maintain operational access whilst progressing systematically across pavement areas.
Quant Measur managed the commercial and cost aspects, ensuring timely completion within budget constraints whilst coordinating with airport operations to minimize disruption to aircraft movements.
