A specialist asphalt mix design, which was produced entirely off site, was recently used by Hanson UK to resurface the runway at Carlisle airport. It was the first time that Hanson Airfields, a hard-wearing material for runways, which can be used in both the binder and surface courses, had been supplied. Unlike most traditional methods used for UK runways, the 15,000 tonnes of Hanson Airfields was produced at two off-site plants, saving the time and costs associated with having to establish an on-site asphalt plant. Producing the mix off site also helped to meet the project's tight design to output programme.
