Idaho Airport Beats the Clock with Cement Solution

This Project Information Sheet describes how the Friedman Memorial Airport in Hailey, Idaho selected the use of full-depth reclamation (FDR) with cement to meet a master plan objective and economically re-open for air traffic in the shortest possible time span and cut costs over $1,000,000. The existing runway asphalt layers were found to have deteriorated through a process called “stripping” which weakened its ability to handle air traffic. FDR was selected over three other reconstruction options due to its ability to have the runway rehabilitated and operable in a 30-day maximum construction time. This case study includes an in-depth description of the applications, engineering and economic benefits, materials, mix design procedure, construction equipment and techniques, and laboratory and field testing, as well as quotes from owners, consultants, and contractors involved.
