Network Level Airfield Pavement Management Program at ATL: A Historical Perspective
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) is the world's busiest airport handling over 80 million passengers annually and serves major international and domestic markets around the globe. ATL experienced tremendous growth in late 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. As a result of this growth, four runways and several taxiways have been constructed during this period. A new fifth runway is presently under construction to meet the ever-growing needs of the air traffic. Typically each of the runways at ATL was constructed for a 20-yr design life. However, using periodic maintenance programs involving repair and rehabilitation of airfield pavement structure, the life of these pavements has been extended to well beyond the initial design life. As part of the maintenance program for these runways and taxiways, a network level pavement evaluation program was initiated in 1984. Since the program's inception, ATL runways and taxiways have been periodically evaluated at an average interval of every three years. The range of testing and evaluation conducted on ATL pavements has grown considerably, since the original evaluation. This paper presents a unique historical perspective of the pavement evaluation program conducted at ATL with a focus on the role of this program in maintaining and extending the life of runways and taxiways.
