Airport Taxiway and Runway Concreting, Repair and Remediation

Powerful delivery where timing and quality carry equal weight.

Every airport concrete project carries real constraints. Access is controlled. Security requirements are strict. Possession windows are short. Quality expectations are non-negotiable. Antoun supports airport owners, operators and project teams working across major international airports and critical air infrastructure throughout Australasia and Pacific Islands. Our combination of planning discipline, specialised concrete products, specialist equipment and delivery methodology helps project teams move through complex runway, taxiway and airfield works with greater confidence and control.

Our Airport Concrete Services

Airport Pavements

For new runway sections, pavement upgrades and staged construction works, Antoun delivers airport pavement solutions designed for live operational conditions. Our approach combines onsite batching capability, specialist equipment and experienced installation, producing durable concrete pavements that meet strict project requirements without compromising quality or program control.

As part of the equipment fleet, Volumetric Mixers support:

  • New concrete pavements, taxiways, runways and aprons
  • Taxiways, runway/apron upgrades and widening works
  • Slab replacement programs
  • Heavy-duty airside infrastructure
  • Associated airport concrete areas, including hangars and hardstands

Airport pavements must account for aircraft loading, surface accuracy , access restrictions, tightly controlled work windows and durability. Our methodology directly addresses these requirements.

Runway Repair

When runway slabs crack, deteriorate or fail under load, repair works need to happen within a strict curfew window. Antoun delivers runway concrete repair solutions for live operational airports where shutdown time is limited and performance cannot be compromised.

  • Isolated slab replacement
  • Deteriorated concrete pavement and apron sections
  • Emergency and planned maintenance works
  • Time-critical repairs during curfews or shutdown windows
  • Heavy-use airfield concrete that must return to service quickly

We carry out concrete slab repair and replacement across runways, taxiways and apron’s with the speed and sequencing control these environments demand.

Runway Restoration

Not every airport concrete issue requires full reconstruction. Where the objective is to restore performance, improve pavement condition and support long-term maintenance outcomes, Antoun delivers runway restoration solutions tailored to live operational environments.

  • Ageing concrete pavements
  • Staged restoration programs
  • Airport infrastructure upgrading
  • Concrete rehabilitation in live environments
  • Long-term pavement maintenance strategies

Airport stakeholders need restoration solutions that balance durability, program certainty and minimal disruption to operations. Our delivery model is designed to support those priorities from planning through to handback.

Taxiways and Aprons

Airport operations extend well beyond the runway. Antoun supports concrete works across taxiways, aprons and associated aviation infrastructure where live site coordination, access control and program discipline are essential.

  • Taxiway slab replacement
  • Apron and hardstand concrete works
  • Airfield pavement construction
  • Localised repair and upgrading
  • Concrete works adjacent to active airport operations

CASE STUDY

Slab Replacement: Sydney Airport Runway Upgrade

Antoun was engaged by Sydney Airport to deliver a major rigid pavement reconstruction on one of the most critical pieces of aviation infrastructure in Australia — Runway 16R. The project was completed with no unplanned operational interruptions despite the complexity and scale of the works.

Specialist Equipment for Airport Pavement Works

Airport concrete projects require the right methodology backed by the right equipment. Antoun’s specialist equipment, premium
materials and proven concrete products support speed, accuracy and delivery within tight timeframes and
strict tolerances. In addition to onsite batching and placement capability, we use specialist technology
to support better control, durability and return-to-service outcomes.

Volumetric Concrete Mixer Fleet

Volumetric Concrete Mixer Fleet

Our Volumetric Mixers operate as mobile batch plants, giving airport projects greater control over timing, quantity and mix consistency. Concrete is batched onsite to match live program conditions, rather than relying on conventional fixed loads and rigid supply timing.

This helps:

  • Reduce waste
  • Respond to changing site conditions
  • Support delivery within closure windows
  • Maintain greater control over production timing
  • Keep large-scale concrete works moving efficiently

Our Volumetric Mixers can produce up to 10m³ in a single load and up to 40m³ per hour in static operation.

Super Screeds

Super Screeds

Surface accuracy is critical in airport concrete works. Antoun's SuperScreeds support highly accurate finishing across runway and taxiway applications while reducing manual handling and improving placement speed.

  • Span from 3.5m to 16m
  • Require only one operator
  • Are lightweight and quick to mobilise
  • Achieve exceptionally flat, consistent surfaces

This makes them particularly effective for runway, taxiway, apron concreting and pavement restoration, where finish quality and time control are both essential to project success.

Minnich Drills

Minnich Drills

Runway repair and replacement programs depend on rapid, accurate drilling. Antoun's Minnich Drills support faster hole production, reduced manual handling and better site control during pavement repair works.

A Minnich Drill can complete a hole in approximately 20 seconds and includes onboard extraction and filtration to reduce airborne silica dust exposure.

This helps streamline:

  • Mitigate stress and strain from manual handling
  • Dowel bar installation
  • Repair productivity
  • No water usage during drilling operations
  • Self-dust extraction

Typical Airport Concrete Applications

  • Runway slab replacement
  • Runway concrete construction and repair
  • Runway remediation works
  • Taxiway pavement construction and repair
  • Apron and hardstand concrete construction and repair
  • Maintenance shutdown works
  • Airport upgrading programmes
  • Hangar-related concrete infrastructure
  • Large-scale aviation pavement projects across Australia

Why Airport Owners and Operators Choose Antoun

  • Built for High-pressure Operational Environments – Airport concrete work is not standard construction. It requires a team that understands live operations, curfew deadlines, site safety controls, risks and the cost of delay. Antoun focuses on mission-critical works delivered on time, within schedule and with no unplanned disruptions to airport operations.
  • Minimal Disruption – We plan around curfew windows and operational constraints so critical works can be completed without unnecessary impact on airport operations.
  • Rapid Return to Service – Our Rapid Set concrete solutions, premium materials and high early-strength products reduce waiting time and support faster reopening of operational assets. See our concrete products and solutions for more on how we help reduce downtime and improve long-term pavement performance.
  • Proven on Large-scale Infrastructure – Our experience extends across a wide range of concrete services for large-scale infrastructure, operational sites and complex project environments.
