Ryebridge was appointed by Surrey’s Redhill Aerodrome to realign its existing runway, which forms part of the perimeter taxiway, and to remove the curve within it. The runway was closed for the duration of the works, with the remainder of the airfield open and maintained for light aircraft traffic including helicopters.
The close proximity of an area of environmental significance provided unique challenges to Ryebridge, who put in additional measures to prevent water contamination.
An envirobund was constructed to protect flora and fauna and to help with the water run-off, along with temporary diversion ditches designed to prevent run-off entering the water course until the final drainage was installed.
Works involved:
• Partial full depth breakout of existing runway, returning it to soft with compliant gradients to EASA – 1600m2
• Removal and disposal of contaminated asphalt
• Full depth construction of new aircraft pavement to widen and realign runway
• New asphalt surfacing over the newly constructed realigned runway including an asphalt reinforcement grid – 7500m2
• Groove finished asphalt surface
• The reinstatement of surface markings
• Installation of a new drainage system
• Regrading and landscaping
Kier Infrastructure commissioned Ryebridge to install new concrete pavement around the new South West Devon Energy From Waste plant.
The plant is set to provide the South West Devon Waste Partnership (SWDWP) with heat and steam to the dockyard all year round.
Ryebridge’s work included associated access ramps, drainage and paving.
The main works involved were:
In the 2015 Ryebridge was proud to receive a third consecutive RoSpa Gold Award for its work on the HV Ringmain at London Luton Airport, where in partnership with Bowers Electrical Ltd they updated the 50+ year old High Voltage infrastructure that feeds the airfield.
Ryebridge installed 11km of HV cable around a live airport environment having only one minor cable strike throughout the whole job. It installed a new substation, high voltage cable diversion/installation and Thrust Boring under taxiways and runway.
To reduce damage to the airports runway and taxiways, Ryebridge implemented horizontal directional drilling (HDD), a steerable trenchless method of installing underground pipes, conduits and cables in a shallow arc along a prescribed bore path using a surface-launched drilling rig, with minimal impact on the surrounding area, something that Ryebridge always strives to do.
