Report

Summary

The purpose of this project is to reconstruct the southern half of the concrete apron at the Phoenix Goodyear Airport, which was originally constructed in the 1940s when the facility operated as a military base. Pavement thickness across this area varies significantly and ranges from approximately 9 inches to more than 20 inches. The pavement has now exceeded its useful service life and is generating foreign object debris concerns for airport operations.

 

Stantec Consulting Services Inc.'s services include geotechnical analysis, drainage analysis, full pavement design of the project, and potential construction administration and inspection. Design elements will include project mapping, drainage analysis, existing condition and site-specific parameters, apron reconstruction, coordination with adjacent development plans, and coordination with Construction Manager at Risk Contractor.
