Runway 10/28 & Associated Taxiways Rehabilitaton and Enhancements to
Co Dublin
This particular project is located within Dublin Airport (airside) which opened to
operations in 1941. In 1950, annual passenger traffic was recorded at 212,661
persons with 16,769 air transport movements. By 2008, passenger numbers had
risen to some 23.5 million (passengers) with more than 210,000 commercial air
transport movements. During 2008-2012 these numbers reduced, however Dublin
Airport has enjoyed steady growth since then and in 2014 there were 21.7 million
passengers.
The airport has progressively developed from being a small facility into a major
international air transport node of vital economic importance. Dublin Airport
operates on a 24-hour basis, supporting scheduled and chartered services to over
150 destinations. The airport provides/facilitates all ancillary services associated
with an international airport. These include retail, food and beverage, long and
short-term car parking, public transportation, hotels, offices, catering, aircraft
maintenance facilities, cargo facilities and other associated services.
Runway 10/28 is Dublin Airport‘s primary runway as it currently deals with 95% of
all air traffic movements. Originally constructed in 1989 as a rigid Pavement
Quality Concrete (PQC) it was overlaid in 2010 with a Thin Porous Friction Course
(TPFC) to provide improved friction. The TPFC installed in 2010 had a design life
0f 6-8 years before rehabilitation is required. Recent studies have determined that
the runway does not have sufficient structural strength for the projected aircraft
movements over the next 15-20 years and a rehabilitation of the pavement is
required.
The Contracting Authority proposes to commission a Design and Build Contractor to design and construct the Works that include, but are not limited to the following:
1. Overlay of Runway 10/28
2. Airfield Taxiway Rehabilitation (Taxiway E3 & B7 Pavement Improvements)
3. Airfield Lighting Upgrade (Runway 10/28 AGL system Replacement)
4. Taxiway AGL Upgrade
5. Airfield Infrastructure for Large Aircraft
6. Runway Line Up Point 10 end
7. Taxiway Signage Re-designation in the vicinity of Rwy 10/28 and Associate Taxiways
