Airfield Painting and Rubber Removal .pdf

This document is an Annual Airfield Painting and Rubber Removal Plan for Joint Base Andrews (KADW), dated 12 Mar 12. The plan outlines comprehensive guidelines for annual runway rubber removal and airfield marking painting operations, typically conducted between April and August. Key objectives include removing runway rubber deposits, repainting airfield markings that exceed 40 mils thickness, and prioritizing painting of specific areas such as runway markings, primary taxiways (Whiskey, November, Echo, Sierra, and Charlie), and various apron areas.

The plan specifies detailed requirements for painting multiple airfield zones, including runway markings (threshold, designator, side stripes, centerline), taxiway/taxilane markings, apron markings for West Ramp, East (Navy) Ramp, 459 ARW Ramp, and other specialized areas like engine run-up pads. Due to funding constraints, the 2012 project prioritizes east runway rubber removal and re-painting, repainting peeling markings (such as moon markers on the east runway and Taxiway Whiskey centerline), and addressing specific marking corrections identified during inspection. The plan is coordinated by 89 OSS/OSA, 11 CES/CEO, and involves a paint contractor for execution.
