The new final report, Quality Control and Quality Acceptance of Concrete Airport Pavement, from the Airport Concrete Pavement Technology Program (ACPTP) provides a comprehensive roadmap for improving the quality of concrete airport pavements. Developed by a research team led by the University of North Carolina–Charlotte, the project produced a Best Practices Manual, model Contractor Quality Control Program (CQCP), and training resources focused on strengthening quality management systems for airfield construction. The guidance emphasizes a holistic approach—covering everything from materials and mixture development to construction, testing, inspection, and acceptance—to help promote a stronger culture of quality and more consistent pavement performance across airport projects.
