Rehabilitation of Shannon Airport Runway 06 24
Shannon Airport supports 46,000 jobs in the Mid West region of Ireland. In Summer 2017, Shannon Airport carried out the rehabilitation of 2400m (75%) of its main runway. The €14 million investment ensures the integrity of the runway for the next 25 years. RPS carried out the detailed design, tender process and site supervision for the works on this critical piece of national infrastructure on behalf of Shannon Airport Authority (SAA).

Furthermore, to minimise traffic disruption, the project had to be completed between April and September 2017 and before the onset of poor visibility conditions in Autumn 2017.
