Denver International Airport (DIA) Instrumented Pavement Project

SCOPE: The instrumented pavement at Denver International Airport has been collecting data since 1996, and data collection is expected to continue for at least another 5 years. This project covers renovation of the DIA database, data processing, database maintenance, management of the DIA data collection and instrumentation systems, periodic pavement inspections (including FWD testing) and performance monitoring. This project also includes comprehensive analysis of the collected data to be performed by the Center of Excellence (COE).
