Over here in Perth they are relaying the main runway. They are doing it during the day, closing the main runway for 12 hours from 7 to 7. The second runway cannot handle 747's or 340's so during the times they need to use the runways outside of those times they are using ramps to cover the uneven parts (raising it 6cm).

They're also closing the airport for two Sundays while they do the intersection.

Perth is also a nominated 380 diversion (we've already had one divert), so I assume they should be able to get these ramps up if required in a hurry.
