General recovery information for Rockhampton Airport is as follows:
FRIDAY 14 JANUARY 2011
The main runway (RWY 15/33) is now clear of water and visual inspections are continuing. Water from the secondary runway (RWY 04/22) is almost gone and cleaning works have also commended. Gas pockets have been located in various locations on the main runway and have been drilled to release the pressure under the asphalt. So far this work has been successful.
Power to the General Aviation Area was restored today.
Further information will be available following the detailed inspections conducted over the weekend.
THURSDAY 13 JANUARY 11
There is now water on approx 10% of the main runway. Some gas 'bubbles' have formed under the asphalt and we are using a small diameter drill to remove the pressure in the affected areas. When the runway is completely dry, a full assessment of the runway pavements will be conducted. This will commence on the weekend.
Much of the secondary runway is still underwater. Sweeping and cleaning of the runways, taxiways and apron areas is continuing and will take several days to complete.
WEDNESDAY 12 JANUARY 11
The water is receding faster than anticipated and a much larger section of the main runway (RWY 15/33) is now exposed.
Taxiway Juliet is still partially underwater and the secondary runway is still submerged. Cleanup of the main runway is being carried out by the Rural Fire Brigade support trucks and several mobile rotary brooms. Power has been restored to the terminal and services are now being reinstated.
TUESDAY 11 JAN 11
The water level on the main runway (RWY 15/33) has reduced by a small amount. Sweeping and visual inspection of the dry section of this runway has now commenced. Several issues have been identified with the available runway and have been marked for engineering assessment.
With the exception of the intersection of the two runways, the secondary runway (RWY 04/22) is still completely underwater.
