AERTEC have been in charge to elaborate this project in order to adapt the RWY 08-26 at South Tenerife’s Airport to the ICAO standards.
First of all, AERTEC made an in-depth analysis on the airfield to define the non-compliance elements. Afterwards a single solution to each case was incorporated to the project so as to ensure that the RWY 08-26 was completely in compliance with the ICAO normative.
Finally, the works had to be undertaken and of course included in the project are summarised as follows:
¬ Reparation of the service roads around the RWY 08-26
¬ Rehabilitation and expansion of the RESAs
¬ Adaptation to ICAO SARPS of all electrical pits
¬ Rehabilitation of the graded RWY strip
¬ Execution of a new electrical duct banks section
¬ Refurbishment of the existing ancillary structures of the approach lighting system
