PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
• The pavement system at Miami International Airport (MIA) is
composed of four runways and a intricate network of taxiways,
a taxilanes, and aprons.
• The total surface area of pavement is approximately 47.2 million square
feet (4.4 million square meters).
• 38.9 million square feet (3.61 million square meters) are flexible
pavement, composed of asphalt concrete (AC) surface.
• 8.3 million square feet (771 thousand square meters) are rigid pavement
composed of Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) surface.
• Both pavement types use a combination of layered materials and
thickness in order to support the traffic loads and protect the
underlying subgrade soil.

PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
• The Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) began to develop a
Pavement Management System (PMS) in 1996 as required by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
• The airfield pavement system at MIA is managed by using an
Integrated Airport Pavement Management System (IAPMS) to assist
engineers, planners, and management in making decisions when
forecasting and conducting pavement maintenance and repairs
(M&R).
• The IAPMS identifies the existing condition of airfield pavements
and provides information regarding their useful remaining life. It
integrates the pavement condition with aircraft traffic projections
(i.e., type of aircraft and frequency) to develop an effective
maintenance and repair program.

10 Year Maintenance and Repair Plan
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
• The inspections for all airfield pavements are conducted on a three year
cycle as required by FAA.
• Once the field observation data is input into the management system, the
condition indices and remaining life are computed. This information is
then analyzed and evaluated to produce the 10 Year Maintenance and
Rehabilitation Plan.
• MDAD is in the process of converting the IAPMS to MicroPAVER. This
will ensure seamless integration into the State and Federal systems.
• The PMS is instrumental in securing both State and Federal grants.
• The PMS has provided the guidance to forecast and initiate some of
MDAD’s largest pavement Capital Improvement projects such as:
• The MIA Runway 9-27 Pavement Rehabilitation ($13 Million)
• The MIA Runway 8R-26L Pavement Rehabilitation ($27 Million)
