  2. Trompeteros is located in the northern jungle of Peru on the banks of the Corrientes River and is the base of the Petroleum Operations for the concession known as Block 8. The 1,850 x 30 meter (plus turnaround and parking areas) airstrip was built back in the mid eighties at coordinates 03° 47’ 56.00” S – 72° 02’ 23.00” W by Petroperu so that crew changes could be made by conventional aircraft. Up till then crew changes were made by either Float Plane or Helicopter. The runway was constructed in three layers, a 15mm base layer of compacted sand, a 20mm layer of 12% Concrete and a final 20mm layer of 13% Concrete. The concrete was mixed on site and without aggregates or reinforcement. Over the years the surfaced deteriorated and was patched on various occasions until last year when it was decided to completely resurface the runway. Corporación Petrolera was awarded the contract in November 2001 and the work executed between May and July of 2002.  The scope of work included removing 2” inches from the original surface, sealing any cracks and laying 3 ½” of new asphalt. An Ingersoll Rand MT7000 E Milling Machine was purchased to do the milling. A total of 65,000 square meters were milled and hauled in six days.   Once the surface was removed it was discovered that the structure of the runway was badly damaged and required extensive patching and structural repair. The accompanying photos show the extent of the repairs and patches. Approximately 1,500 square meters of concrete repairs were done plus an incalculable amount of asphalt patches. Due to the fact that there is no gravel in the northern jungle and the high cost of extraction and river transport from other areas, it was decided to use an Asphalt Cement Mortar comprising of the local black river sand, Pen 40/50 asphalt and Cement. The mix was based on 38 gallons of asphalt and 100 kilos of Portland type 2 Cement per cubic meter. A total of 5,850 cubic meters of new Asphalt was laid in two layers, 2 and 1 ½” and compacted to 98%.
