Successful airport pavement design goes beyond simply operating software—it requires a solid understanding of aircraft loading, traffic projections, pavement materials, FAA design criteria, and airfield operations - along with the engineering judgment needed to turn technical data into practical, constructible solutions.   

Through a live demonstration, participants will gain practical insight into developing design assumptions, analyzing critical project inputs, and applying engineering judgment throughout each stage of the pavement design process. Whether you are new to airfield pavement design or looking to expand your technical knowledge, this webinar will deliver practical tools and real-world insights that can be applied directly to future airport projects.  

PRESENTERS
• Genevieve Long, PE, LEED AP, VP/Program Director, Applied Pavement Technology, Inc.
• Abbas Kachwalla, PE PMP, Associate Vice President, AECOM        

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of this ACC webinar, participants will be able to:

• Evaluate how aircraft loading, traffic projections, and geotechnical conditions influence pavement design 
• Navigate FAARFIELD and interpret design outputs 
• Apply engineering judgement and FAA standards to real airport pavement projects 
• Identify common design challenges and best practices from industry experience
