Airport Technology Research Taxiway Memorandum of Agreement signed between the FAA and Delaware River & Bay Authority • Grants the FAA the “right to construct, operate, and maintain research infrastructure” at the Cape May County Airport from November 15, 2010 through September 30, 2030.
Project Summary • The objectives of the project are to: • Rehabilitate former Taxiway C to develop a state of the art research test bed. • Design, install, test, monitor, and report on new technologies in signs, lighting, and markings. • Allow for other airport safety and pavement research needs to be conducted. • Be utilized as a taxiway by the airport when the FAA is not actively conducting research on the test bed.
Project Summary • Primary use of the test bed will be for evaluating various airfield lighting systems. • Centerline Lights • Runway Guard Lights – In-Pavement and Elevated • Touch Down Zone Lighting • Runway Status Lights • Will be reconfigurable – multiple duct banks, hand holes, pull boxes and conduit • Support lighting requirements for airport’s use of taxiway when FAA not testing. • In-pavement taxiway lights may be tied into the airport’s existing infrastructure w/ cut off capability.
Design Development • Electrical Vault • 300kva 277/480 3-phase, pad mounted transformer • Install building to accommodate regulators, support equipment, staging area, and storage. • Power to be provided Atlantic City Electric • Brought in from overhead lines along Fulling Mill Rd • Direct burial along airport fence line to transformer.
Existing Pavement Condition Taxiway C
Design Development • Taxiway C Pavement Rehabiliation • from Runway 10/28 to Taxiway B ~ 2800 feet long • 50’ wide full strength • Mill top 3 inches of existing surface • Re-grade using millings and compact existing base and millings • Prime coat • 3” surface - various pavement mixes • 50’ shoulders • 3 inch mill, grade and compact in place • Prime coat • Overlay with new 3 inch HMA
Pavement Research • Five Test Pavement Sections, each +/- 550 feet long • Provides an excellent opportunity to study the effect of environmental factors on the durability of new environment friendly (greener) materials used for surface layers in flexible pavements. • Periodic Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD) tests and other non-destructive tests (PSPA) will be performed to monitor changes in the material properties (such as stiffness, etc.) of pavement layers. • Laboratory tests on material samples collected during construction. • The test pavement will be used to improve and develop new instrumentation and data acquisition techniques.
