Massachusetts Port Authority Runway 11 Departure EMAS Replacement
R.M. Chin & Associates, Inc. (CHIN) provided civil design services for the replacement of the Engineered Material Arresting System (EMAS) at Runway 11 Departure at Worcester Regional Airport, Massachusetts.
The EMAS at Runway 11 Departure at Worcester Regional Airport, originally constructed in 2009, required an upgrade to next-generation block materials to ensure continued safety and compliance with the latest FAA standards.
The project posed significant challenges, including coordinating with airport authorities and regulatory bodies, detailed site preparation, and the design of advanced materials.

» Assessment and planning
» Site preparation design
» Designing the EMAS bed

» Coordination and review
Outcomes
The project, valued at $1.5 million, replaces Worcester Regional Airport’s critical EMAS safety feature. The design and planning of the new updated infrastructure enhances the safety and reliability of the EMAS system. As the project continues, clear communication and coordination among the design team, construction crew, and airport authorities remain pivotal in achieving a successful outcome.
