Repair Quality Assessment: Spiral 4

Abstract: The Expedient and Expeditionary Airfield Damage Repair (E-ADR), Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD) program developed, demonstrated, and transitioned a repeatable capability for rapidly repairing bomb-damaged craters at adaptive base locations using logistically friendly technologies, indigenous materials, and less manpower than traditional crater repair methods. Within the E-ADR JCTD program, quality assessment took a major role to ensure quality repairs were performed while meeting the requirements of “just enough, just in time.” Repair criteria for backfill compaction and surface cap quality were developed through extensive testing. These criteria were incorporated into an easy-to-use and deployable smartphone application, the E-ADR Repair Assessment (ERA) application. This report focuses on the backfill quality assessment criteria development, roughness tolerance of surface caps checking procedure, and the development of the ERA application. The criteria and the ERA application both proved successful in the expedient evaluation of backfill and surface cap materials.
