Dublin airport‘s main runway 10/28 was completed in 1989 and has been in continuous operation for the past 20 years. The frequency of maintenance on the runway, in the form of slab replacements, has steadily increased over the past number of years. A structural evaluation carried out in 2007 has concluded that the remaining life of the pavement to be in the order of 4 to 6 years before significant intervention is required. It is therefore intended to carry out the runway overlay over the period 2010 to 2011. Every year the overlay is delayed beyond this date, the extent of the rehabilitation required will increase significantly. This project has become even more critical in light of the postponement of the new North Runway.
