AIRPORTS

Another aspect of rubblizing that is popular is Airport Runways. In many instances, airport runways can run as a deep as 26 inches thick with pcc pavement. A popular choice for runway rehabilitation is to rubblize the concrete and do a HMA (hot mix Asphalt) overlay. Resonant Machines has been involved in numerous projects throughout the USA with this process. It has met with great success.

Rubblizing analysis performed at FAA Pavement testing facility at Atlantic City, NJ.  Findings on file for your inquires, call the RMI office at +1 (913) 931-3111 for more information or email info@resonantmachines.com.

Pavement fractured at Wright Patterson Air Force base was 21” thick.

• Slabs may be rubblized up to 26” thick
• Rubblization with HMA overlay takes 1/5 the time to reconstruct
• Rubblization with HMA overlay is 1/3 the cost of break and remove
• Life Cycle costs substantially less

During the process, like most roadway projects, there is a test dig involved to check the fracture pattern in the rubblization process as well as steel debonding. With all steel debonded, and an interlock fracture pattern, the end result is a solid rubblized aggregate base, with no destruction to the underlying base.
