Project Description

The project was divided into eight stages. The schedule for this project had no margin for error. The resurfacing portion was right at the primary apron area, and had to be completed at night. The second portion (resurfacing a major taxiway by removing deteriorated surface and constructing a new heavy duty asphalt taxi surface) involved long days. For the entire project we were working adjacent to a live runway. We completed the project on time and the client is thrilled with the result.
