The surface prior to treatment was a 25–30 year-old ageing two coat chipseal with white quartz stone.

This case study profiles how a specific mix design was developed for this airport tarmac, encompassing the application of a 2-coat polymer modified bitumen blend to ensure adhesion to the white quartz.

Due to the deterioration of the taxiway asphalt surface, the bonding of the asphalt layer was breaking down causing it to become brittle, with loose aggregates, this creating a FOD (Foreign Objects Debris) damage risk.

This case study shows how SteelGuard XL was applied to taxiway areas to resurface the asphalt layer that was brittle with increasing asphalt loss.

At Taupō Airport the chipseal and asphalt taxiways, aprons and airport facility pavement infrastructure were heavily oxidised and the pavement surface was also cracked in multiple areas.

This case study outlines how the taxiways, aprons and other pavement areas were rehabilitated, including two days of pre-seal repairs that were undertaken prior to surfacing, and staged sealcoating to ensure continued uninterrupted airport operations.

The Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) is one of the busiest in India having over 950 flight movements each day with a single runway in operation. The runway was exhibiting signs of aging with ravelling, creating issues with FOD. SteelGuard XL was chosen as the desired solution for the runway and shoulders.

SteelGuard XL proved to be an ideal product application for American Samoa’s airport providing extended life for the aging runway approach asphalt.

This case study profiles how SteelGuard XL was applied flexibly in stages, without defects, to fit in with aviation operations and changeable tropical weather patterns.

SteelGuard XL provided a cost-effective resurfacing option for lower-level carparks after construction work to add an elevated level above was completed.

This case study outlines how SteelGuard XL provided an effective solution for this carpark retrofit project, tying in the new and aged asphalt.
