Airport Pavement Roughness with Nighttime Construction

Surface elevation profiles are measured before and after overlay operations on runways at two commercial airports in the USA.Each airport had only one runway. All overlaying was done at night, with the airports opened for normal operations during the day. The profiles were measured with an inertial profiler having software compensation for accelerometer errors. Pavement surface elevations measured with normal surveying rod and level equipment are compared with the profiler elevation measurements for one of the runways.
