Airfield Pavement Evaluation, Pueblo Memorial Airport, Colorado

Abstract

At the request of the 302 AW (AFRES) a pavement evaluation team from HQ Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency (HQ AFCESA) did a partial evaluation of the Pueblo, Colorado municipal airport. The objective of the evaluation was to determine if the now closed Runway 12/30 is suitable for C-130 assault operations. The evaluation was done on 5-7 April 1994. The runway pavement has failed and is structurally weak. Severe block cracking, alligator cracking, heaving, and rutting is prevalent. The runway is not suitable for C-130 assault operations and would have to be reconstructed to accommodate this mission.
