Incorporating environmentally sustainable asphalt surfaces into airport pavements
International symposium on asphalt pavements & environment, 4th (Tokyo, Japan, 20-Nov-2017 - 21-Nov-2017)

Abstract
The privatised ownership of many airports has resulted in an increased desire to incorporate environmental sustainability into the construction of airport pavements and surfaces. However, more demanding aircraft and less reliable supplies of bituminous binder have combined with risk-averse airport managers to limit the use of available technologies. Incorporation of recycled asphalt, as well as other recycled construction materials and industrial by-products, reduces the environmental impact of airport asphalt surfaces. As does extending the period between resurfacing by use of rejuvenators, enrichments and surface filling treatments. Increased use of more environmentally sustainable airport asphalt surfaces is expected in the future, as confidence in new technologies increases.
