VÖGELE Laser Receiver for Pinpoint Landing in Terms of Evenness

Construction of the New Quito International Airport is currently the largest building project in Ecuador. The airport operator has invested USD 600 million in the modern infrastructure, and the requirements on evenness of the runway and taxiways were every bit as high as the sum involved.

VISION 5200-2 Defines New Standards

Ohio State University Airport in the USA looks back on a long tradition, having already served as a training facility for military and civilian pilots since as far back as 1943. Reconstruction of the asphalt pavement was called for to ensure that flight safety could be guaranteed in the future, too. The supreme requirement in this respect was maximum evenness of the pavement. And this is why contractor Shelly & Sands Inc. opted for a VISION 5200-2.

Night Shift at the Airport

Four SUPER pavers rehabilitated the runway at Brussels Charleroi Airport, Belgium. The 20-year-old asphalt pavement was successively repaired over a period of several nights.
