Stringent safety and security measures would apply in all such cases. Material is regularly updated to reflect changes in materials standards.Ī typical maintenance course lasts 3 days and would normally include an airfield site visit wherever this can be facilitated through the Client.

Material for the Airfield Pavement Maintenance course has been developed over several years and is supported by detailed reference notes for distribution to students in PDF format. He has prepared airfield pavement related Papers for publication in the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers and co-authored other material for publication. Under the InfraPave banner John has also carried out airfield pavement inspections, troubleshooting and investigations as well as Expert Witness assignments for both UK and overseas Clients and currently conducts training in the UK and overseas. Various international consultancy assignments took him to the Caribbean, the USA, mainland Europe and the Far East, carrying out both runway resurfacing and Due Diligence work for BAA. With an internal transfer to the Corporate Division at Gatwick he joined the civil engineering design team at Gatwick, specialising in airfield pavement and infrastructure design. A graduate in civil engineering from the University of Nottingham, he did his basic training and early airfield work with a major local authority before moving to BAA at Heathrow. The Chicago Department of Aviation utilizes the MicroPAVER pavement management system to inventory and monitor the condition of Midway International Airport’s pavement network.John was formerly Head of Technical Development at BAA before establishing his own Consultancy, InfraPave, in March 2000. It uses inspection data and a pavement condition index rating from 0 (failed) to 100 (excellent) for consistently describing a pavement’s condition and for predicting its maintenance and repair needs many years into the future. MicroPAVER, was originally developed in the late 1970s to help the Department of Defense manage maintenance and repair for its vast inventory of pavements. The data collected was used to develop a 10-year Capital Improvement Program, which prioritizes and describes specific maintenance and rehabilitation activities. The pavement network included airside pavements inside the airfield fence, runways, taxiways, aprons, service roads and parking lots, and landside roadways and parking lots outside the airfield fence. The system is used to assess current conditions, forecast future conditions, and to plan maintenance and rehabilitation activities. The overall project consisted of the utilization of the ArcGIS/MicroPAVER Pavement Management System to inventory and monitor conditions of the airport pavement networks.

The project involved field inspection and analysis of current airside and landside pavement conditions, utilizing a combination of ArcGIS software and the MicroPAVER Pavement Management System to determine the Pavement Condition Index (PCI), assist in the creation of the Pavement Condition Report, and create/update Network Definition Maps and PCI Maps using AutoCAD. ORD & MDW Pavement Management Services Chicago, IllinoisĭB Sterlin provided engineering services for the Chicago Department of Aviation’s mandatory cycle of 3 year pavement inspections.
