High-quality concrete paving has been achieved at an airport in Iceland by specialist contractor, HIB Iceland. Concrete paving was carried out using a Wirtgen SP 62i model at Keflavik Air Base, with the machine laying 75,000m2 of operational facilities. The project involved the extension of the apron and a hazardous cargo pad at the military air base on the international airport at the port of Keflavik, 50km from Iceland's capital, Reykjavik. The overall project was commissioned by the US Government. At the end of the construction project the SP 62i had paved a total of 35,000m3 of single-layer concrete paving with a width of 7.62m and a thickness of 41-45cm. On average, 900m3 of concrete was paved/day. Due to the climatic conditions on the Reykjanesskagi peninsula in the south-west of Iceland, the time window for the project was set for the beginning of July to the end of September of 2021. To squeeze the work into this timeframe, the decision was made to do without prior placement of fixed formwork for the individual strips. |
