The results of a remaining life pavement analysis (FAARFIELD) indicated that action was necessary to restore the pavement to an acceptable remaining lifespan.

A traditional, full-depth repair was impractical because it would have required shutting down the runway for an extended length of time. The URETEK Deep Injection ® (UDI) process promised the San Francisco Airport engineers a fast
