Do big jets tear up airports? You bet, they do! All that can be done is to keep a step ahead of that wear and tear. Call it a scenario where the best defense is a good offense. However, not in this particular case.
Here is the result of an airfield upgrade, utilizing a sub-base of experimental fiberglass sheeting, under a fresh layer of asphalt, on a taxiway. The sub-base literally allowed the asphalt to slide on it, resulting in the surface tear seen in the photo.
Sometimes "Mr. Lowest-Bidder" does indeed end up costing more in the long-run.
