Runway construction

Runway construction costs on a controlled descent
 
“Unique“ is Zürich Airport's new tag-line. An apt choice,describing not only the impressive alpine panorama to which passengers are treated at landing and take-off, but also the remote-controlled technique now in use for constructing new taxiways – truly a world first. Just like the aircraft pilots taking off and landing only a short distance away, machine operator Beat Furrer has his concrete slip-former set to 3D automatic operation. Compared with previous runway construction methods, this technique puts costs on a controlled descent. There are no troublesome guide wires to be found on this site.
