How long did it take to set up those metal runways? Were the metal sheets spiked into the ground? How big were they? Also, how are commercial runways built?

What are you talking about? What "portable runway" are you asking about? Where was it built? When? – Ron Beyer Nov 13 '19 at 01:41

You should remove the "also..." part of your question and ask that as a separate thread. – Sanchises Nov 13 '19 at 06:43

The last of your question is an whole question, you may find that most runways are made of asphalt and thus you can narrow this question to difference between runway and streets for building asphalt surfaces. – Manu H Feb 18 '20 at 13:02

Google is your friend. Try it. "perforated metal airstrip"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marston_Mat
"A runway two hundred feet wide and 5000 feet (1500 m) long could be created within two days by a small team of engineers."
