TWA TERMINAL CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

RECONSTRUCTION OF
RUNWAY
Instead of using asphalt , concrete was
being used .
Asphalt, the material of choice at JFK
airport, has a lifespan of ve to 10 years.
Concrete's is nearly 40, but installing
concrete costs about 10 percent more
over asphalt and takes out the runway
under reconstruction out of commission
for a signicantly longer time.
Asphalt is typically overlayed in sections,
which means part of the runway can be
used for ights during construction, while
working with concrete requires taking out
the entire runway for the length of the
construction cycle, drastically impacting
overall airport operations, potentially
causing those dreaded minutes and
hours on the tarmac.
