Taxiways are a critical airport infrastructure component that allow for efficient operations and help to avoid delays. Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) maintains nearly 60 taxiways throughout the airfield, which allow aircraft movements to and from four runways.

Each time planes land on the airfield, the wheels leave rubber and skid on the runway surface. Over time, the rubber creates a buildup, eventually filling grooves that drain water from the runway, which is unsafe if not removed. According to research by government entities including NASA, the FAA and United States Air Force, not removing rubber from runway surfaces may lead to hydroplaning and poor braking performance from aircraft.
