Lafarge Canada, part of Holcim, is the paving subcontractor for Vancouver Airport’s North Runway Modernisation Programme in British Columbia.

Asphalt paving of the Vancouver International Airport’s north runway has begun, with around 150m increments completed each night.

The asphalt lift will finish with a slope grade to allow the safe landing and takeoff of aircraft during the north runway’s daily operating hours, according to airport officials. As part of the paving works, crews are also removing, rising and reinstalling runway lights and reapplying paint markings before the runway is returned to service each day.
