Runway 10/28 and Associated Taxiways Rehabilitation and Enhancements to
This particular project is located within Dublin Airport (airside) which opened to operations in 1941. In 1950, annual passenger traffic was recorded at 212 661 persons with 16 769 air transport movements. By 2008, passenger numbers had risen to some 23 500 000 (passengers) with more than 210 000 commercial air transport movements. During 2008-2012 these numbers reduced, however Dublin Airport has enjoyed steady growth since then and in 2014 there were 21 700 000 passengers. The airport has progressively developed from being a small facility into a major international air transport node of vital economic importance. Dublin Airport operates on a 24-hour basis, supporting scheduled and chartered services to over 150 destinations. The airport provides/facilitates all ancillary services associated with an international airport. These include retail, food and beverage, long and short-term car parking, public transportation, hotels, offices, catering, aircraft maintenance facilities, cargo facilities and other associated services. Runway 10/28 is Dublin Airport's primary runway as it currently deals with 95 % of all air traffic movements. Originally constructed in 1989 as a rigid Pavement Quality Concrete (PQC) it was overlaid in 2010 with a Thin Porous Friction Course (TPFC) to provide improved friction. The TPFC installed in 2010 had a design life of 6-8 years before rehabilitation is required. Recent studies have determined that the runway does not have sufficient structural strength for the projected aircraft movements over the next 15-20 years and a rehabilitation of the pavement is required.
