The runway at RAF Brize Norton was showing signs of wear and tear. Craig Marshall, commercial manager at preservation firm ASI Solutions and Paul Hancock, operations director of Allied Infrastructure, explain the work they undertook last August to slow down weathering and ravelling of the famous Oxfordshire runway
The work at Brize Norton was the largest Rhinophalt project ever undertaken on an airfield

Q What know-how gained on other projects was especially useful in completing the work on this runway? 
Paul Hancock (PH): It is so important with large projects like this that you constantly try to drive efficiencies to help deliver a better service. Sometimes it is the small things that make a difference. A good example was our decision to change from IBCs [Intermediate Bulk Containers] to bulk tankers, which reduced the number of fills of the product during the scheme and thus the overall time it took us to complete the project. We also protected our tanker by transporting it on a low-loader to avoid any damages or issues resulting from potential damage in a road traffic accident. For Brize Norton, we also introduced a new way to mask the airfield markings.
