Scope Of Work
In September 2016 Eutaw Construction was awarded a $22.3 million contract for Phase 2 of Knoxville’s Airfield Modernization Program at the McGee Tyson Airport. The contract duration is 14 months.
The contract requires rehabilitation of the existing runway to meet the FAA’s line-of-sight requirements. These requirements are designed to make it easier for pilots to see the entire runway during takeoff and landings. The runway had a “crown” that needed lowering that limited the line-of-sight. Approximately 3,500 feet of the runway required demolition and then replaced.
Definable features of the project include:
Removing and stockpiling of 210,000 square yards of portland cement concrete (PCC)
80,000 square yards of asphalt removal
10,000 linear feet of storm sewer removal
Site demolition
1,126,000 cubic yards of unclassified excavation
17,000 linear feet of reinforced concrete storm drain pipe varying in size from 18” – 60”, including the installation of 33 drainage structures
640 linear feet of 5’ x 12’ concrete box culvert
3,000 linear feet of 10” ductile iron pipe water main
2,300 linear feet of 6” sanitary sewer force main, including lift station relocation
162,000 square feet of articulating concrete block system for erosion control
6,000 LF of encased duct bank
Eutaw Construction also performed Phase 1 of the Airport Runway Modernization which included a similar scope. The contract amount for Phase 1 was $24.6 million
