Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky Airport (CVG) – Runway 9-27 Rehabilitation (2020)

Project Description

RDM provided detailed pavement analysis, distress mapping, Nondestructive Testing, pavement design, and rehabilitation options for the asphalt and concrete runway sections.  The scope of the project includes the rehabilitation of Runway 9-27, Taxiway K and Taxiway J, as well as associated pavements such as blast pads and shoulders.  At 12,000 feet, Runway 9-27 is the longest runway at CVG and the pavement survey work required close coordination with airport operations and the cargo tenants so that the runway would be available for daily cargo departures.  Work across the intersecting runway (or within the Precision Object Free Zones) had to be closely coordinated with the Air Traffic Control Tower.  RDM issued a detailed report summarizing the current surface and structural condition of the existing runway; an analysis of the expected remaining life of the existing pavement; and pavement designs and rehabilitation alternatives.  The survey data was used
