During January–March 2000, a Network Level Pavement Management Study (PMS) was conducted at Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), Washington, D.C. during nighttime closure hours. Due to the increased level of air operations at IAD, specific time-critical maintenance efforts had to be employed, such as quick curing Portland cement concrete (PCC) patches and spall repairs. It was important for the IAD engineering staff to have these site-specific time-critical maintenance activities and costs represented in their MicroPAVER database for programming and budgetary purposes. The majority of the runway and taxiway pavements were originally constructed in 1959. All of the existing airfield pavements are PCC and all future construction is expected to be PCC. In order to keep the airfield pavements operational amid intense air traffic schedules, special time-critical maintenance activities had to be employed. This paper will focus on how these time-critical maintenance activities were incorporated into the MicroPAVER database workplan tables and how they were graphically represented in PAVER-Geographic Information System (GIS) for presentation purposes.
