Safe landing due to heavy-duty pipes
Airports are huge infrastructure projects that however require powerful underground structures in order to manage the airborne traffic successfully. Such underground structures were built at the German airports Berlin-Schönefeld and Halle-Leipzig.
In particular, pipelines running beneath the taking off and landing runways are exposed to transient extreme pressure impulses caused by aircraft movements, which may soon result in a pipeline break owing to an inappropriate design of the underground network. As a consequence thereof, the taxiway surface may even be damaged substantially. High-performance products especially designed by Berding for this purpose were used at the Berlin-Schönefeld and Halle-Leipzig airports.
Contrary to the scandal-ridden terminal building, the construction of the taxiway areas of Berlin-Schönefeld Airport and...
