Best Practices and Technological Innovations in airfield expansions and Maintenance to ensure operational efficiency and safety

2012 SPEAKER HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

Global airport operators and aviation authorities to gather at the premier airfield engineering and asset maintenance conference in hong kong

The 3rd Annual Airfield Engineering and Asset Maintenance Conference is a global must-attend event gathering. It will feature all the best in class airport operators, aviation authorities, airfield engineering experts and governing bodies to share case studies and break-through technology and solutions to ensure airfield safety and operational efficiency

The Asian region is forecast as the fastest growing aviation market over the next 20 years with the highest fleet growth. In order to meet an exponential growth in aircraft movements and the onset of new aircraft designs, greater demands are being placed on the airfield engineering and maintenance departments.

MEET REPRESENTATIVES FROM NASA & AIRPORT AUTHORITY HONG KONG

Tom J. Yager, Distinguished Research Associate from NASA will be presenting on “Pavement Texture – The Key Player in Tire Friction Performance”

This session summarises the factors influencing pavement texture, identifies available techniques to measure and improve texture and discusses how tire friction performance is directly related to pavement texture.
