For the restoration project, the asphalt and the concrete layers of the 3.5-kilometer runway were milled off and renewed.
A new drainage and wastewater system was also mounted. 650 meters of BG-FILCOTEN® were used for this purpose.
FILCOTEN® HPC adds the required stability to the channels mounted, making them significantly lighter than concrete – which saved both time and money for the installation.

The safety precautions required for the construction project were among the biggest challenges. All resources such as employees, equipment and construction material had to undergo the typical security and customs checks. This would have prevented us from staying within the originally scheduled 8-month construction time frame.
To us, trustworthiness is key. Reliability and product quality are decisive criteria. Would we work with BG-Graspointner again? 100 %!
