Extension of service life
In the central, regularly overrolled area, 4.5 cm of the surface course was renewed over a width of 30 m and a length of 2,170 m. The pavement was then rehabilitated. Asphalt preservation was carried out for the outer edge areas, which are generally not rolled over. It is a demonstrably effective way of preventively maintaining almost all asphalted traffic surfaces. The expected service life can be significantly increased by preservation and actively contributes to the conservation of resources.
Replacement of secondary pipes and a new cable protection pipe route
All Runway Center Line (RCL), Touchdown Zone (TDZ) and Approach Lighting (A PL) conduits were replaced and re-routed. A new cable protection conduit route was used to connect Station 07 to the main runway alignment. Parallel to the other main work, the lighting systems with around 760 lamps were renewed by third-party trades. Approximately 120 km of cables were laid in the course of this work. With the new technology, electricity savings of 230,000 kWh per year are possible.
Goal-oriented through effective planning and team spirit
To ensure a smooth construction process, preliminary work began as early as mid-October in the area of the taxiways. In order to keep the promise of timely completion, the renovation work was implemented in the 46th week of the year in 24-hour operation. This meant that air traffic could be resumed on schedule on 30.11.2022 from 20:00. For this demanding project, the traffic route construction team consisted of the Münster/Dortmund, Osnabrück/Gütersloh branches, G+S Straßenbau GmbH as well as colleagues from CMG Baulogistik, the asphalt experts from the in-house laboratory and Asphaltmischwerke
