Construction of 10.000 m 2 concrete airplane<br />

platform - Dublin Airport<br />

Construction of 18.000 m 2 concrete aircraft<br />

test facility - Eindhoven<br />

Client:<br />

BAM Ireland<br />

Implementation period: 2017<br />

For the purpose of an Apron (airplane platform) renovation<br />

at Dublin Airport, DEN OUDEN GROEP has applied<br />

10,000 m² of high-quality concrete hardening. The work<br />

was completed to the full satisfaction of BAM Ireland and<br />

Dublin Airport Authority.<br />

The structure consists of a non-reinforced concrete floor<br />

with a thickness of 425 mm and a concrete quality of<br />

C35/45 XF4 with the addition of 5% air. The joint pattern<br />

on the platform is based on 5.5 by 5.5 metres whereby<br />

the longitudinal joints are linked by a coupling rod with a<br />

diameter of 20 mm centre-to-centre 600 mm. The cross<br />

joints feature dowels with a diameter of 40 mm centre-tocentre<br />

375 mm. The concrete mortar was delivered from<br />

a central location and the concrete hardening was applied<br />

with our Wirtgen SP850 Vario slipform paver modified to<br />

a width of 5.5 metres.<br />

Implementation period: 2015-2017<br />

A new aircraft testing facility for military planes has been<br />

constructed at the air base in Eindhoven. In addition to<br />

an open air concrete platform, this testing facility also<br />

has a high-walled platform. At this new location, the air<br />

force can test the C-130 Hercules and KDC-10 planes,<br />

for instance after servicing or repairs. According to the<br />

Ministry of Defence, this walled test site will cause less<br />

hindrance than the current one.<br />

The construction had two phases. During the first phase<br />

(2015/2016), taxiways and the plateau were constructed,<br />

plus a twelve metre high sound wall north of the plateau.<br />

During the second phase (2017), the walled plateau was<br />

built. The work mainly consisted of applying a testing<br />

facility with a slanted wall (embankment with concrete<br />

slabs). This slanted wall is intended to direct the ‘blast’<br />

generated by the jet engines during test runs upward. The<br />

hardenings mainly consist of 18,000 m² cement concrete<br />

hardenings (incl. 7.5 km of joints) and prefab concrete<br />

slabs.<br />

The work was carried out as a contracting consortium<br />

with Dura Vermeer.<br />
