During the pilot pavement process, a trailer weighing 94 tons,
equipped with the wheels of a Boeing 747-400 aircraft, was
driven 450 times a day, 24 hours a day, 45,000 times over four
months to assess optimal pavement conditions. Underground
facilities on the airside were also constructed: 2 underpasses
on the north and south sides, drainage facilities, and tunnels for
the Intra Airport Transit (IAT) and Baggage Handling System
(BHS). On the landside, civil engineering facilities included
essential infrastructure to enhance airport functionality, such
as access road networks, parking facilities, an international
business area, an airport management area, and an airport
new city. The road network comprises a total of 82 km of
paved roads, while the International Business Center covers
approximately 165,000 square meters and the airport new
town spans around 2.15 million square meters. Additionally,
construction was carried out for water supply pipelines (water
mains), oil pipelines, and LNG gas pipelines to supply the
airport and surrounding areas from the mainland.
