Construction of

2 long runways and

airport access facilities

As the site preparation work came to an end, the construction of airport facilities
also began. The airport is largely divided into 2 zones: the airside for aircraft
and the landside for passengers. Accordingly, the construction work was also

divided into these 2 areas. The major civil engineering facilities on the airside
were runways, aprons, and underground structures. In the Phase 1 construction
project, the 2 long runways were built. Each runway is 3,750 meters long, 84
meters wide, and 1.05 meters thick. Moreover, 44 attached stands and 16 remote

stands were built in the apron area, enabling the simultaneous accommodation of
60 large aircraft. 4 parallel taxiways were constructed to ensure that the ground
movements of Code F aircraft would not interfere with one another. To select the
optimal pavement method for the airside, section, and materials for the runways

and taxiways, experimental construction of pavements was carried out with
participation from domestic academia, as well as experts from MIT and North
Carolina State University.
