Echo Romeo Rapid Exit Taxiway

Our Aviation team worked closely with all stakeholders through project workshops to identify the preferred solution which matched the aspirations of the airport's long-term operational masterplan. We assisted the client's project team to ensure the correct location of the RET maximised its benefit to the runway occupancy, whilst not providing any confusion to pilots using adjacent taxiways. 

Taxiway pavement material options were reviewed in relation to aircraft safety, night-time working window, continuity of material on the existing runway and local availability of materials. This ensured aircraft safety was not compromised when exiting the runway due to changes in surface friction and provided a sustainable design. 

The project was delivered using an approved BIM (Building Information Modelling) Execution Plan to ensure compliance with the Airport's Requirements (EIR's) and Technical Standards. Detail design documents were submitted on programme to allow a contractor to be successfully appointed and construction commence.
