New Mexican proposal for Profile Index AIRPORT PAVEMENT Measurements on all the Runway length: a.- (1) in Center Line b.- (10) at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 meters on each side covering 20 m width c.- Once a year evaluation Standard or Specification Proposed Value Average P. I. (cm/km) Year New Pavements (Runways)max 10,02007 Existing Pavementsmax 15,02007 More than 15,0Pavement must be treated with corrective maintenance. Key Notes: 1) Until 1990, the official standard in Mexico had a maximum Value of P. I. = 30 inch/mile (47 cm/Km) 2) From 1992, the standard value was improved requiring a maximum P. I. = 15 inch/mile (24 cm/Km) 3) The new mexican proposal (2007) now in study and discussion, we expect to have it approved along 2008 and will require for all medium and large airports a maximum “Profile Index of 10,0 and 15,0 cm/Km”
