The North Runway rehabilitation in Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) in Amman (Jordan) consisted of renovation works of the pavement and airfield lighting and the marking of the Runway so that, once completed, it would be in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) requirements and certification by the commission.

Works were bounded by the 4080m x 300m runway strip plus two 240m x 150m Runway End Safety Areas (RESAs) beyond each end of the runway strip (Figure 1). In addition, the full extent of both approach lighting systems was also part of the scope of the Project, with any associated implications to the functionality of the systems.

Runway paved areas (runway, runway shoulders and stopways) represented 297,000 m² approximately. Works in these areas included cracks reparation (most are superficial but some required deep repairs), milling and full reconstruction of the top course, safeguarding of airfield lighting systems, minor relocation of most inset runway lights and associated electrical works.
