  • Massachusetts Airport Pavement Management System Overview
    2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Massachusetts Airport Pavement Management System Overview BACKGROUND Pavements represent one of the largest capital investments in the Massachusetts aviation system, and the condition of these pavements is important both from cost-effectiveness and safety standpoints. Timely airport pavement maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) are crucial because repairs are much more costly once the condition deteriorates below a certain level. Additionally, airport pavement weaknesses, such as cracks and loose debris, pose a significant safety risk to aircraft. Recognizing a need to protect this critical investment, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation Aeronautics Division (MassDOT Aeronautics) established a statewide airport pavement management system (APMS) in 2012 to monitor the condition of the Massachusetts airport infrastructure and to proactively plan for its preservation. The ultimate goal of this project was to provide the airports, MassDOT Aeronautics, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with the pavement information and analytical tools that could help them identify pavement-related needs, optimize the selection of projects and treatments over a multi-year period, and evaluate the long-term impacts of project priorities. During this project, the pavement conditions at thirty-three Massachusetts airports were assessed, and the collected pavement inventory and condition data were used to establish an APMS database. The data were analyzed to determine the overall health of the aviation pavement system, to identify pavement-related needs, and to provide recommendations for pavement M&R. This report describes the findings and recommendations of the APMS project. BENEFITS OF THE AIRPORT PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The MassDOT Aeronautics APMS yields many benefits. It provides MassDOT Aeronautics, the individual airports, and the FAA with the information needed to monitor the condition of the pavements to ensure they are able to safely accommodate aircraft operations.

At least 50% of the supplemental funds must be made available to non-hub/small hub airports • $200 million in supplemental grants were awarded in the first round of funding, leaving $800 million available before the end of FY2020 • MassDOT will work with GA airports to aggressively pursue funding opportunities 3 5/20/2019 Great News!
