2008 Airfield Construction
Taxiway A
This project completes the full length taxiway for runway 4-22, the 8,000 foot primary runway. The project constructs 900 feet of 75' wide concrete taxiway, work also includes major drainage improvements and associated earthwork. The project also involves major modification to both FAA NAV AID circuity and reconfiguration of airfield lighting circuits. Completion of this project with the related commissioning by the FAA of the new Doppler VOR/DME, which was completed in the Fall of 2007, provides a major safety improvement for taxiing aircraft on the airfield.
Project Period: Fall 2007 - Summer 2008
North Ramp Safety Improvements
The project provides for the reconstruction of 104,000 sf of the existing aircraft parking ramp at the Terminal. Work includes removal of major areas of deteriorated concrete and asphalt ramp, installation of drainage systems, subbase stone and new concrete ramp materials. The project has been defined in seven phases to minimize disruption of airline operations.
Project Period: Fall 2007 - Fall 2008
Rehabilitate Runway 10/28 and Related Safety Improvements
This project is a major safety improvement to the eastern portion of the runway 5,500 cross wind runway. The work includes reconstruction of 3,200 feet of the runway and rehabilitation of an additional 600 feet of the runway. The intersection of the runway with Taxiway H will be constructed approximately three feet higher than the present elevation as a result of the need to adjust the runway profile to conform to current Federal Aviation Administration design criteria. The project includes significant pavement removal by milling, allows for reuse of a portion of the removed materials for new construction and includes placement of a new asphalt pavement section with grooving for pavement drainage.
Project Period: Summer 2008 - Winter 2008
