Executive Summary
In 2016 the South Carolina Aeronautics Commission (SCAC) selected Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) to perform an update to the Statewide Airfield Pavement
Management System (SAPMS) of select public airport facilities that are in the National Plan of
Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) as well as non-NPIAS facilities. The specific update
consisted of thirty-five (35) NPIAS and fourteen (14) non-NPIAS public use airport airfields
classified as the following per the South Carolina Airports System Plan: State Classification I –
Commercial Service (SC-I), State Classification II – Corporate/Business (SC-II), State
Classification III – Business/Recreation (SC-III), and State Classification IV – Recreation/Local
Service (SC-IV). All airports participating with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport
Improvement Program (AIP) are required to comply with FAA Order 5100.38 AIP Handbook
through the compliance with the Advisory Circulars 150/5380-7B “Airport Pavement
Management Program (PMP)” and 150/5380-6C “Guidelines and Procedures for
Maintenance of Airport Pavements”. SCAC had implemented the SAPMS to assist public
airport facilities in performing pavement condition index (PCI) survey inspections and analysis in
accordance with the ASTM D5340-12 “Standard Test Method for Airport Pavement
Condition Index Surveys”.
Berkeley County Airport’s airfield pavement facilities were inspected in accordance with the
ASTM D5340-12 in May 2016.

Chapter 1 – Introduction
1.1 Introduction
The State of South Carolina is home to 60 public use airports. Per the previous 2008 South
Carolina Airport System Plan, the State’s airport system consists of 6 commercial service, 14
corporate/business service, 20 business/recreation service, and 20 recreation/local service
airports.
The South Carolina Aeronautics Commission (SCAC) is responsible for developing and
maintaining the State Aeronautics System Plan and providing technical support and assistance
to public-use airports in the State of South Carolina. As part of its technical support to public
airports, in 1998 the SCAC (then known as the South Carolina Division of Aeronautics)
implemented a comprehensive Statewide Airfield Pavement Management System (SAPMS).
SCAC initiated a pavement management system to support a proactive maintenance program
for public use airports to program applicable and economically sound maintenance,
rehabilitation, and capital improvements through the State Aviation Fund (Title 5 Section 55-5-
280).
A pavement management system is a systematic tool for helping airports make cost effective
decisions regarding pavement maintenance and rehabilitation. A pavement management
system is based on an understanding of an inventory with pavement assets and consistent
method of assessing condition. It provides a technical basis for informed decisions regarding the
timing and type of maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation activities that ensure that airfield
pavements can provide functionally adequate load-carrying capacity, good ride quality, and
remain free of foreign object debris (FOD). In addition, an effective pavement management
system can support agencies and airports with the planning and prioritization of projects based
on performance and economics.
Airports participating with the FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP) for pavement
improvement grants, are required to comply with FAA Order 5100.38 AIP Handbook through the
compliance with the Advisory Circulars 150/5380-7B “Airport Pavement Management
Program (PMP)” and 150/5380-6C “Guidelines and Procedures for Maintenance of
Airport Pavements” with an effective pavement management system. SCAC’s
implementation of the SAPMS has assisted public airports with this requirement in performing
pavement condition index (PCI) survey inspections and analysis in accordance with the ASTM
D5340-12 “Standard Test Method for Airport Pavement Condition Index Surveys”.
of the NPIAS. The specific update, designated as SCAC Project U30-N00-MJ, consists of thirty-
five (35) public use airport airfields.
This update to the SCAC SAPMS will provide the Airport operators, engineers, and
maintenance personnel with the following:
The present airport airfield pavement system inventory and understanding of recently
performed or anticipated pavement construction projects (maintenance, repair, and
major rehabilitation);
The present condition of the Airport maintained airfield pavement network (runway,
taxiway, and apron), as a whole and further subdivided into Branch, Section, and
Sample;
Forecast of future performance of the Airport’s airfield pavement network and for each
individual Section;
Because pavement is a dynamic structure, the PMS should be a living and continuously
updated element of the Airport’s infrastructure program as to best reflect the changes in
pavement condition, aircraft operational growth, maintenance efforts and new technologies, unit
costs of materials, and maintenance strategies that may be constrained due to budgetary
requirements.
A substantial portion of any PMS involves the evaluation of airfield pavement distresses and
infrastructure conditions in an objective and consistent manner. The ASTM D5340-12 is the
industry standard for the identification, measurement, and rating of pavement distresses that
ensures a consistent and objective means of documenting and analyzing pavement condition as
required by the FAA. The PCI is the result of systematically cataloguing distress data in
manageable “samples” across the network as to calculate an index based on empirical
knowledge of the performance and distress mechanisms of pavements. PCI is a numeric index
ranging from 0 to 100, with 0 being a “FAILED” pavement and 100 being a “GOOD” newly
constructed pavement. Figure 1.3.2 graphically represents the PCI categorical ratings with a
conceptual pavement life curve.
Figure 1.3.2
By performing timely maintenance, pavement conditions can be improved due; rather delay
steep deterioration, thereby extending the life of the airfield pavement. Figure 1.3.3 is a
graphical illustration of the benefits of timely preservation treatments on
Figure 1.3.3
To further elaborate; a traditional, moderately used facility, flexible pavement section consisting
of hot-mix asphalt concrete airfield pavement has an approximate design life of 20-years prior to
needing reconstructed, if no preventive maintenance is performed or no drastic alteration in
traffic pattern occurs (i.e. increased aircraft traffic or substantial changes in aircraft fleet mix) it
will typically cost the Airport substantially more per square foot to resurface or reconstruct
pavement for a Section. Alternatively, it can cost the Airport much less per square foot to seal
cracks, perform preventative asphalt maintenance such as asphalt surface rejuvenators, and do
select or “localized” base repairs, which may extend the life of the pavement section by 3 to 5
years.

Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCC) – rigid pavements for airports are
composed of Portland cement concrete placed on a granular or treated base course that
is supported on a compacted subgrade. The concrete surface must provide a texture of
nonskid qualities, prevent the infiltration of surface water into the subgrade, and provide
structural support to the airplanes. Rigid pavement construction requires the layout of
appropriately designed joint spacing. The quality of the concrete as per the FAA AC
150/5370-10G Standards for Specifying Construction of Airports, acceptance and
control tests, methods of construction and handling, and quality of workmanship are
covered in Item P-501, Portland Cement Concrete Pavement.
Asphalt Concrete (AC) – a flexible pavement consisting of hot mix asphalt wearing
surface placed on base course and when required, by subgrade conditions, a subbase.
The entire flexible pavement structure is ultimately supported by the subgrade. The hot
mix asphalt surface or wearing course must prevent the penetration of surface water to
the base course; provide a smooth, well-bonded surface free from loose particles which
might endanger airplanes or persons; resist the shearing stresses induced by airplane
wheel loads; and furnish a texture of nonskid qualities, yet not cause undue wear on
tires. To successfully fulfill these requirements, the surface must be composed of
mixtures of aggregates and bituminous binders which will produce a uniform surface of
suitable texture possessing maximum stability and durability. Since control of the mixture
is of paramount importance, these requirements can best be achieved by use of a
central mixing plant where proper control can be most readily obtained. The quality of
the concrete, acceptance and control tests, methods of construction and handling, and
quality of workmanship are covered in Item P-401/403, Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA)

Based on the record documentation incorporated within the SAPMS database throughout the
years, the pavement surface types have been assigned to the various pavement sections in

As SCAC continues to update the SAPMS with future PCI Survey inspections and assembly of
airfield pavement construction work history; the performance models will be further refined. With
the refinement of additional PCI and work history data points, the forecasting of pavement
conditions will continue to better reflect the performance trends of airfield pavements in South
Carolina. The forecasted PCI data presented in this report is intended for planning purposes,
specifically to aid in the identification of major rehabilitation of pavements over the next 5 years.

Localized maintenance and repair is classified as small quantity repairs that are specific to
existing pavement deterioration manifestations. The SCAC SAPMS recommends repair actions
based on the specific distress type and severity as identified by the FAA Advisory Circular
150/5380-6C “Guidelines and Procedures for Maintenance of Airport Pavements” .
Localized maintenance and repair performed on pavements prior to deteriorating to or below
critical PCI is considered preventative action and may extend a pavement’s functional life.
However, once a pavement section has reached or deteriorated below the critical PCI, the
repair efforts are considered as a stopgap measure (or safety repair) in lieu of a major
rehabilitation. Tables 4.1.1 (a) and (b) define the specific localized maintenance and repair
actions specific to the recommended actions by the FAA for flexible asphalt concrete and rigid
Portland cement concrete pavements respectively. Ultimately, it is at the judgement of each
airport operator to select a localized maintenance and repair that is considered a permanent,
temporary, or emergency action.

Planning level opinion of probable construction unit costs developed for this Program Update
was based on archived bid tabulations and records from airfield pavement projects in South
Carolina. A review of cost trends and cost factors have been incorporated to assist airports in
planning for project budgets. SCAC has no control over the cost of labor, materials, equipment,
or over the Contractor's methods of determining prices or over competitive bidding or market
conditions. Opinions of probable construction costs provided herein are based on the
information known to SCAC at this time and represent only the Kimley-Horn's judgment as a
design professional familiar with the construction industry. This SAPMS Program cannot and
does not guarantee that proposals, bids, or actual construction costs will not vary from its
opinions of probable construction costs.
The accuracy of the predicted work quantity is subjective with regard to both percentage of
pavement areas surveyed or “sampled” and with regard to the concentration of distresses within
each sample unit. The identified localized maintenance and repair efforts (quantity and cost) are
intended for planning purposes.

To estimate the functional remaining life, the critical PCI values (threshold values) were set for
all airfield pavements based on review of performance models and historic records. Additionally,
the critical PCI of 65 has been established based on understanding of pavement performance
by use, pavement evaluation and design experience, and standard practice. Pavement sections
that deteriorate below the critical PCI are identified as candidate sections for major
rehabilitation. Pavement sections that are above the critical PCI should be considered for
localized maintenance and repair or for global surface treatments unless exhibiting significant
load-related distress types. For general planning purposes, this Program Update utilizes a
critical PCI of 65 – however it is ultimately up to each airport to determine thresholds for
warranting major rehabilitation efforts based on prioritization.
Table 4.2.1 summarizes the PCI values by branch use and airport airfield classification for the
SCAC SAPMS.

For this analysis, the development of a major rehabilitation program is based on the critical PCI
method. The critical PCI method is based on the concept that it is more cost-effective to
maintain pavements above, rather than below their critical PCI. It is assumed that once a
pavement section deteriorates to the critical PCI value that it is more cost-effective to complete
a major rehabilitation project rather than continuing to apply preventive maintenance. This
method includes defining the critical PCI and introducing major rehabilitation work types.

Major rehabilitation is identified within the SAPMS as major construction activity that would
result in an improvement or “resetting” of the pavement section’s PCI to a value of 100. Such
activities could include; mill and hot-mix asphalt overlay and re-construction. This analysis was
conducted with no constraints to budgets to identify all pavement projects based on Critical PCI
for a 5-year duration. It is recommended that the airport use this as a planning tool for future
project development and prioritization. Table 4.4.1 depicts the major rehabilitation work
identified on the pavement section level based on current and predicted pavement PCI.
Airports should consider the major rehabilitation work types of mill and overlay, PCC restoration,
and reconstruction planning level classifications only. Additional design level investigation in
accordance to the FAA Advisory Circulars will be required to identify specific areas within each
section that are subject to reconstruction, mill and overlay, and PCC restoration. The work and
budgets identified are intended for the planning level not the design level. Areas identified as
mill and overlay may in fact require select areas of reconstruction should load-based distresses
observed warrant it.
Table 4.1.5 provides the section level major rehabilitation needs based on an unconstrained
budget scenario with 2016 non-adjust for inflation planning level unit costs. The purpose of the
unconstrained budget scenario is to provide airports a planning level understanding of
pavement rehabilitation needs based on the condition observed and forecasted. It is
recommended that each airport perform analysis to consider prioritization, design level
information, and availability of funding to develop more accurate capital improvement needs.

Chapter 5 – Conclusion
5.1 Recommendations
5.1.1 Continued PCI Survey Inspections
It is recommended that the airport continue to perform regularly scheduled PCI Survey
inspections in accordance with the ASTM D5340-12 to monitor the condition of the airfield
pavement facilities.
A high priority should be considered for continuous maintenance record keeping and re-
inspection of all the airport’s maintained pavement facilities to ensure continued safe aircraft
operations. A series of scheduled periodic inspections must be carried out for an effective
maintenance program. Re-inspection of pavements should be scheduled to ensure that all
areas, particularly those that may not come under day-to-day observation, are thoroughly
evaluated and reported.
Airports may access the South Carolina Statewide Airport Pavement Management System
PAVEAIR web-based database to obtain additional information with regards to their airfield
pavements.
It is recommended that airport sponsors coordinate with SCAC’s Airport Maintenance and
NAVAID Engineer when planning maintenance and repair efforts.
Further refine and implement the identified 5-year major rehabilitation needs
Maintain records on major pavement construction projects (year, scope, cost, and
construction documents)
5.2 Conclusion
The Statewide Airfield Pavement Management System (SAPMS) 2016 was completed for
airports on behalf of the South Carolina Aeronautics Commission in accordance with the
Advisory Circulars 150/5380-7B “Airport Pavement Management Program (PMP)” and
150/5380-6C “Guidelines and Procedures for Maintenance of Airport Pavements.
SCAC’s implementation of the SAPMS has assisted public airports with this requirement in
performing pavement condition index survey inspections and analysis in accordance with the
ASTM D5340-12 “Standard Test Method for Airport Pavement Condition Index
Surveys” and conveyed the importance of pavement maintenance preservation.
