Beca partners with Adelaide Airport to resurface its runways with asphalt. Beyond maintenance, it’s a 10-12 year vision for safer aviation. The shift to LED lighting boosts sustainability, while the project promises reduced costs and smoother operations.

Our journey with Adelaide Airport isn’t new. We’ve been there, right beside them, during the 2010-2011 overlay project. We’re not just repeating history; we’re making it, drawing on past lessons to introduce innovative, sustainable solutions this time around.

Navigating the complexities of runway and taxiway overlays requires more than technical know-how; it demands a vision for the future. That’s where we, at Beca, make the difference. When Adelaide Airport eyed their next leap forward with the Main Runway and Taxiways Overlay Project, they weren’t just looking for a fix. They sought a partnership that would add value, insight, and sustainable outcomes to this substantial investment.
