Having a recently laid new asphalt surface (#115) is an aspect which has been in previous accidents / incidents. IIRC events at Bristol, and a BAe146 overrun at Puerto Williams many years ago.
The possibility of an oily film / greasy surface should be considered by operators / airport authorities.
There are links to this subject in previous threads. Also see the technical paper on runway surface texture and risk of hydroplaning.
