Evidently they performed QRA on an ORP that had heating elements embedded in the concrete, to ensure an ice free surface in the winter.
Interesting. Wonder if there were consequences for aircraft performance as the temp immediately above the runway(and thus ingested in the engines) might have differed from ambient? Guess it could also offset performance hits from a contaminated runway.,
