Where runways and most taxiways are upgraded to handle the A388, they are only widened.
This is to protect the outboard engines from FOD and ingesting the turf.

Given the amount of damage to the engine, who knows where all of those pieces ended up, so probably best to get on the ground as soon as possible.
