Using PCI Data to Define Major Rehabilitation Projects at Washington Dulles International Airport
Since 2002, Washington Dulles International Airport has taken an aggressive approach to effectively managing its airfield pavement system. Each year, roughly one third of the total airfield pavement network is inspected based upon the FAA procedures, Advisory Circular 150/5380-6B, "Guidelines and Procedures for Maintenance of Airport Pavement," to develop the Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The PCI data is used for two purposes: first, to plan for in-house annual preventive and stop-gap maintenance requirements; and second, to define major rehabilitation projects. The airport has effectively used the process to develop successful, high-impact projects to rehabilitate the original airfield pavements that are 40 to 45 years old. During the process, each major project is defined into a constructible package, with cost and duration estimates developed for each. With all projects defined, they are prioritized and fit into the operational landscape and integrated with other airfield projects. This paper explains the project definition process and components and shows how PCI inspection data can be turned into a key tool for developing an airport's plan to maintain and improve its pavement infrastructure.
