This award-winning project entailed a preplanned 39-day full shutdown of Scottsdale Airport, one of the busiest single-runway general aviation airports in the world, to facilitate the full reconstruction of the airport’s runway as well as install new drainage, blast pads, and runway and taxiway lighting. Numerous self-perform crews, subcontractors, and material suppliers worked 24/7 day and night through one of the heaviest monsoon seasons on record to complete this aggressively scheduled project ahead of schedule. Seven inches of rain occurred over the 39-day duration of the project, including three inches of rain in a two day period after the existing runway was fully removed. Redundant pump stations were setup in an organized grid throughout the runway to facilitate subgrade dry up and enable construction to progress through the record monsoon season.
Being an around the clock project with numerous subcontractors, Banicki facilitated hourly coordination and schedule updates between our self-perform crews, all subcontractors, material suppliers, the design engineer (Mead & Hunt), as well as Scottsdale Airport Operations. Resources (manpower, equipment, material) were checked and analyzed on a daily basis and the P6 CPM schedule was updated daily to ensure timely project delivery amongst the extremely adverse conditions within the record monsoon season.
