A Summary of Runway Friction Changes Due to High-Pressure Water-Jet Cleaning Operations at Four Airports.
Abstract
The subject effort evaluated a new method of removing rubber from concrete runways in terms of its effect on runway surface friction. This rubber removal method consisted of jetting water at high velocities to remove the rubber deposits from the surface. The results of the tests indicate that commercial equipment and procedures can be used to remove all the above-the-surface rubber deposits, do not visibly damage the surface, and increase wet runway surface friction in the rubber-laden aircraft touchdown areas.
