perimeter fencing, which is approximately 2,300 linear feet, was realigned to include the new ROFA. The airport had a 10’ diameter corrugated metal culvert that was 650 linear feet long that was in poor condition. The culvert crossed both the runway and the parallel taxiway. It was replaced during the renovation by a reinforced con- crete box culvert. The length of Runway 3/21 was increased from 7,100 feet to 7,360 feet. In addition to increasing the runway width and making the pavement stronger, work was also done on paving, lighting, marking, fencing, and drain- age. The connector taxiways were also reconstructed to meet FAA design standard geometry for the larger jet traffic. This was necessary so that the taxiways can accommodate future changes in aircraft design. The work on the connector taxiways included excavation, underd- rains, subgrade preparation, base courses, and an HMA surface course. In addition, the safety areas for Runway 3/21 and Connector Taxiway were graded to meet C-II design standards. Work for the upgrade involved two separate firms: • The engineering work was done by Armstrong Consultants, which specializes in engineering for the aviation industry and has completed more than 1,200 projects at more than 130 airports located in the western U.S. The website is www. armstrongconsultants.com. • The construction work was done by the award-winning Nielson Construction & Materials, whose website can be found at www.nielsonconstruction.com . This company’s work was most recently honored in 2017, where it won in the category of the Best Airport/Transit Project, because of the reconstruction work that was done on the Hanksville Utah Airport Runway Reconstruction. 3 33
