Implementation |
The implementation of AIRPORTS at Chek Lap Kok is planned to take place the spring of 1999.
At that time the analysis of HWD data, the collection of PCI and roughness data, and initial friction testing will be completed.
At the time of writing this paper, most of the analysis and data collection has been completed.
Personnel in the engineering office and maintenance office will be trained in the operation of the system.
As with any PM system, the initial data collection is the most critical as this defines the uniform sections that for the most part will exist for the life of the airport.
Subsequent testing and evaluation will be added to the database to refine the prediction models and help to ensure the highest level of pavement management for the investment made at this new airport.
Data collection can be expensive and it is essential to only collect usable data and to store it in such away that it is available for present and future use.
The AIRPORTS system stores all raw data throughout the years allowing, for example, important research to carried out in subsequent years.
As mentioned earlier, the on going confirmation of the design strategy will also be enabled.
As information on operations, pavement condition, and costs change, the Authority will be able to track and modify the models used in the system to better maintain their pavements.
