Concrete for Safe Landings
Concrete provides a highly durable, strong, fuel resistant, deformation-free surface, with excellent load-bearing capacity for airport runways, aprons and taxiways. Air passenger numbers worldwide are expected to increase almost threefold between 2000 and 2030. Aircraft are becoming bigger and heavier, thereby increasing load bearing demands on airport surfaces. Airports cannot afford to have aprons or runways out of service for ongoing maintenance. Infrastructure that is reliable with minimal maintenance is essential - and concrete is the solution.
