Large Project of the Year Nominee: Provo Airport: Reconstruct Taxiway A North, Taxiway A4 and Taxiway A2

Geneva Rock Products

In collaboration with Woolpert and Provo City, Geneva Rock was tasked to remove and replace the previously existing Taxiway A, and then to construct two brand new taxiways that tie into the existing commercial runway. The project consisted of 38,600 CY of material excavation, 15,200 CY of imported materials placed at 100% compaction, and the placement of 35,662 tons of asphalt concrete.

This project worked around active aircraft traffic. The schedule consisted of four phases and included a 14-day commercial runway shutdown where crews worked 24 hours a day to meet the project schedule. Each phase was designed to keep optimum aircraft taxiing to and from the runway as efficient as possible while still allowing as much work to be completed at a time as possible. The work on the runway shutdown was completed ahead of schedule and commercial airlines were able to resume their normal operations. This project came under budget, and more work was added to the contract with extra funds, allowing more scope and additional Provo Airport needs to be completed.
