WPE UHPC Flooring and pavement applications in airports

Flooring systems for airports are very important nowadays. As a result of the enormous increase in the number of passengers and the associated increase in the number of aircraft, especially of large transport machines, this results in a higher load on airport flooring systems. The average life span of the used linings, whether on runways, taxiways or stands, is getting shorter and the costs of renovation are increasing. Rigid (concrete) or flexible (asphalt) floor coverings are increasingly stressed.

The new large aircraft generation, the A 380 will lead to an increasing number of airports having to check their static loads. This mainly affects the runways, runways, taxiways, de-icing areas, stables and hangar surfaces.
