Runway Ride Quality Criteria Put to the Test at Newark Liberty International Airport
The Port Authority of NY & NJ, which operates John F. Kennedy International Airport, LaGuardia Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Teterboro Airport has been making a concerted effort to improve the ride quality provided by its airfield pavements. A major component of this effort was the adoption of new performance criteria for meeting designed surface grades and smoothness in its paving specifications. The new criteria was put to the test with the rehabilitation of the two main runways at EWR. Runway 4L-22R was paved during 2003 and Runway 4R-22L was paved during 2004. Both runways were designed, constructed, measured, and evaluated by the same project team. This paper describes the new performance criteria for meeting surface grades and smoothness, how ride quality was incorporated into the rehabilitation design, construction methods employed by the contractor, quality control/quality assurance testing procedures, comparison of the finished product of each runway and describes lessons learned and how quality was improved with the paving of Runway 4R-22L.
