Planning Capex investment in airfield pavements
Pavements are the single most critical asset at an airport but are extremely hard to manage. They are difficult to predict - it is hard to know how pavement will behave in the future. It is difficult to plan the right investment: it is hard to know what interventions are needed, when & where. It is difficult to prioritise interventions: it is hard to balance engineering needs with commercial pressures (maximising ROI). As a result, it can be challenging for airports to plan future investments and build robust and convincing business cases.
The webinar will demonstrate a new a customizable platform that enables optimal, data led decisions to be made about investment in pavements and supports communication between engineering and finance teams.
During the webinar, the demonstration will cover how to unlock the power of your data and model your airfield to support intelligent capex planning. The webinar will feature a live demonstration of how to set up an interactive visual dashboard, set input parameters to assess investment needs against annual budgets. In the webinar, you will learn how to estimate future airfield performance and evaluate different treatment strategies to help shape your CapEx plans.
Join our 30 minute webinar and learn how to make intelligent decisions about capital investments in your airfield pavements.
