The repair mortar was required to tolerate uneven loading by aircraft wheels with axle loadings of up to 150 tons and single wheel loading of 26 tons.

 

EPIFLEX was supplied for large section repairs in the order of 350mm – 450mm that were undertaken between May to September. Site Manager Paul Saysell of Amec commented “Epiflex was poured easily into the repair area and had adhered extremely well”.
