| 摘要： | Mitteldeutsche Flughafen was contracted to resurface the north runway and a number of taxiways and sub-contracted Kutter Construction Company, Germany's biggest specialist in road milling, to handle the necessary planing work before paving could be carried out. Leipzig/Halle Airport (LEJ) is a busy facility and is the hub facility for DHL Aviation in Europe. While LEJ handles a comparatively small number of passengers (around 2.61 million in 2019), it is Germany's second busiest for cargo after Frankfurt, as well as being the fifth busiest cargo airport in Europe. It is also used extensively by military aircraft from NATO members and EU nations. The northern runway has been in operation since March 2000 with the concrete surface having deteriorated due to its handling around 400,000 aircraft over this time, including some of the largest cargo and passenger aeroplanes. For the 3.8km-long, 60m-wide north runway and associated taxiways, around 300,000m2 of concrete surfaces, needed to be replaced. In order to preserve the cement treated base course (CTB), the owner stipulated that the removal of the concrete surface needed to be vibration-free. In addition, the new concrete covering would be installed directly onto the milled surface so the elevation needed to be kept within 10mm. |
