Dubrovnik Airport runways: waiting for 247,000 tonnes of asphalt and 58,000m³ of concrete

European-based construction group 945 Strabag is renovating the runways under a €122 million to modernise and expand Dubrovnik Airport in Croatia.

Works, including upgrading of runway lighting system should be completed by the autumn of 2019. The works also include the construction of a rescue and fire station, a hangar and several service and administration buildings.

The contract is being carried out by a joint venture in which Strabag holds a 53.92 % share.

Dubrovnik Airport plays a crucial role in providing access to the old historic city, Thomas Birtel, chief executive of Strabag. The project involves the excavation of more than 1.5 million m³ of material and will require 247,000 tonnes of asphalt and 58,000m³ of concrete.
