Sub Category:
Estimated Cost: $3,500,000
Description: Rehabilitate the apron pavement north of Taxiway K and east of Taxilane E. Project includes pavement cold planing, paving, drainage and striping.
Priority: Short
Need Origination: Sponsor
Justification: The purpose of this project is to restore the useful life of the apron pavement in this area. This apron was last reconstructed in 2006 and 2008. The Average PCI is 68. The apron pavement sees constant use from aircraft accessing both A and B Concourse gates and parking areas. The existing asphalt is showing signs of distress including rutting, longitudinal/traverse cracking, and raveling. Continued degradation of the pavement could result in potential damage to aircraft and surface transportation vehicles due to cracks, foreign object debris, and other impediments if the project is not implemented. Not performing this project will allow pavement conditions to deteriorate until the surface cannot support aircraft, thereby making the apron unusable. The storm drain system has deficiencies that need to be rehabilitated. Field Maintenance has extended the life of this asphalt by performing preventative maintenance, including milling and re-paving. A pavement rehabilitation project is necessary to prevent a more expensive reconstruction project in the future. Correcting the storm drain deficiencies will keep the apron functioning.
