Runway Survey & Condition Assessment
Estimating, Cost Planning, Quantity Surveying
Project overview
Friction assessment sustaining runway performance.
Friction testing of runway and remedial works based on findings. Runway surface friction characteristics are critical to safe aircraft operations. ICAO and CAA standards require periodic friction testing to ensure the runway surface maintains adequate friction for landing and takeoff operations across all weather conditions.
This project involved a comprehensive runway friction survey using specialised friction testing equipment, followed by remedial works based on findings. Friction test results identify areas where surface friction has deteriorated below acceptable limits — requiring remedial action such as surface cleaning, surface texturing or grooving, or partial/full surface overlay.
The survey and remedial works programme was carefully planned and executed to maintain runway availability during assessment and remediation phases. Quant Measur managed the commercial and cost aspects, coordinating specialist contractors and ensuring compliance with CAA standards.
