“Hamburg Airport” project: Strengthening of runway shoulders with Fortrac® KEY DATA • Approx. 3,500 m long, 45 m wide runway shoulders • Double-layer assembly with biaxial Fortrac® geogrids • Tensile strengths ranging between 60 and 120 kN/m, as required Airport operator Flughafen Hamburg GmbH (FHG) carried out a project to raise the bearing capacity of the 45 m wide shoulders on either side of the runway in line with the Aerodrome Design Manual of the International Civil Aviation Organization. Airport Pavements The shoulders were required to be strong enough to prevent any aircraft that...

KEY DATA • Rehabilitation of approx. 4 km long, 40 m wide runway • Use of HaTelit® C 40/17 geogrids Rehabilitation of Asphalt Pavements “Thumrait Airbase” project, Oman: Extension of service life with HaTelit® The runway at the Thumrait Airbase in Oman was rehabilitated in 2009. The existing construction comprised a concrete pavement with an 18 cm asphalt overlay. After several years of service, the expansion joint in the concrete slabs had propagated as cracks to the pavement surface, leaving no alternative but to repair the runway. The first step in the rehabilitation was to mill off a 14...

“A 52 motorway” project: Pavement rehabilitation using HaTelit® The repairs to the damaged pavement surfacing on the section of Germany‘s A 52 motorway between the Neersen and Mönchengladbach interchanges were carried out in July 2009. To ensure the long-term retardation of reflective cracking, which had been the root cause of the damage, and increase the service life of the rehabilitated pavement, Landesbetrieb Straßenbau NRW – the state enterprise responsible for highway maintenance in the German State of North Rhine-Westphalia – opted for the use of HUESKER‘s HaTelit® C 40/17 asphalt...

KEY DATA • Approx. 40,000 m2 asphalt reinforcement • Grid laid on existing asphalt base course • Overlaying with 5 cm binder and 3.5 cm SMA surface course • Use of HaTelit® C 40/17 reinforcement Rehabilitation of Asphalt Pavements Work sequence: The first step was to mill off the existing surface course and part of the binder course. HaTelit® C 40/17 asphalt reinforcement was then laid over the entire milled surface by a specialist contractor in accordance with the HaTelit® installation instructions. The installed grid was subsequently overlaid with a 5 cm (0/16S) asphalt binder course and...

“Münster-Hamm railway line upgrade” project: Reinforcement of rail section with Comtrac® KEY DATA • Improvement of track subgrade through installation of Comtrac® 50/50 B25 • Works performed with automatic SVV 100 sand distributing and compacting machine • 20 km rail section length Plans to raise the maximum permissible speeds on the Münster-Hamm rail section to over 160 km/h necessitated a comprehensive rehabilitation of the existing track bed. To ensure the future stability of the permanent way and track skeleton, it was necessary to increase the bearing capacity of the subgrade. This...

KEY DATA • Construction of crane base with access routes • Use of Fornit® geogrids Working Platforms / Wind Turbines “Sheldon Wind Farm” project: Base reinforcement using Fornit® Sheldon Wind Farm produces wind energy for the town of Sheldon in Wyoming County in the US state of New York. With a maximum output of 129 MW, the wind farm generates enough clean, renewable energy to power some 60,000 households per year. Overall, the project comprises 75 wind turbines, most of which are installed on agricultural land on an approx. 550 m high plateau. At this altitude, the turbines are exposed to...
