S&P´s solution to the problem was to leave as much of the asphalt as possible in tact, so that this layer could act as an absorption layer for movement. The new overlay then is protected by the S&P CARBOPHALT® G reinforcement grid, which will act like a reinforced plate and can resist the tension appearing at the cracked tip. The whole procedure took a total of only 3 1/2 hours. S&P therefore offered a solid and timesaving solution, ensuring that safety standards were optimised. The S&P solution with S&P CARBOPHALT® G prevents crack reflection and the risks of FOD, as well as costs for the taxiway maintenance while increasing its lifespan.
