URETEK - Taxiway, Apron and Runway Repairs: Underground Control for Airports

Subsurface subsidence and voids can cause a wide range of dangerous and potentially very expensive problems and defects on airport runways. The URETEK method for runway repairs of slab lifting incorporates precision injection of specially developed highly-expansive hydro-insensitive materials, enabling the most accurate re-grade and slab alignment in the airport industry. The URETEK method for runway repairs is as non-disruptive as possible – injected materials reach 90% strength in 15min, meaning you will be back in business almost immediately.

DEEP INJECTION PROCESS FOR RUNWAY REPAIRS

URETEK's investigation techniques and the patented URETEK Deep Injection Process go to the heart of the problem, providing a cost-effective, fast, long-lasting and safe solution to soil stabilisation for effective runway repairs.

The URETEK Deep Injection Process for runway repairs drives out water, fills underground soil fissures and voids, and expands to densify the ground. Causing minimum disruption, infrastructures, runways, roadways, bridge approaches / departures and tunnels are put back on solid ground – without the need for excavation.

FILLING AND STABILISING AIRPORT RUNWAYS

URETEK ground control solutions offer a number of key benefits. We know time is of vital importance to you so our methods are up to 90% faster than competitive solutions. This means that project work is completed in hours or days rather than weeks or months. Fast installation, curing and cleanup means minimal disruption that can minimize or eliminate work zone delays. Work can often be done during off-peak night time hours and crews dismantle and remove work zones as soon as they finish.

In addition to being time-effective the patented URETEK runway repair solutions are also cost-effective. For a fraction of the potential replacement costs, our methods provide highly effective long-lasting solutions – all our material comes with a ten-year guarantee.

RELIABLE RUNWAY REPAIRS FOR AIR FORCE ONE

Andrews Air Force Base is home to the president's plane, Air Force One, one of the most recognisable planes in the world. Performing runway repairs at Andrews Air Force Base can be a challenge however, as ramp freezes occur meaning all operations other than those pertaining to Air Force One are shut down due to security reasons.

Every airport repair and runway repair job needs to be completed quickly, but Andrews required even faster repair. Full-depth reconstruction was ruled out as too time-consuming and expensive. The US Air Force chose a repair system that could perform the job quickly and accurately – they chose URETEK.

URETEK performed several tasks, including the Deep Injection Process in a short time frame. URETEK's repair strategy cost less than half the replacement estimate, and took a total of only ten days to complete. The URETEK repair system was so efficient that flight operations were never interrupted. The air force continues today to choose URETEK for many of its critical runway repairs.
