Runway 18-36 is a valuable piece of infrastructure, providing quick access to the air for planes departing from the commercial side of the field. Lamp Rynearson provided design and construction services for a multi-phase reconstruction project on the south half of 18-36. The project included the removal and replacement of 72,000 SY of runway and taxiway PCC pavement, 10,000 LF of storm sewers, sanitary sewer relocations, 100,000 CY of excavation, and supporting airfield electrical work.

Completed in five phases after the Contractor, the OAA and Lamp Rynearson collaborated on a time-saving solution, reducing the allowable working days by 10%. The project began in September 2013 with the removal of Taxiway B adjacent to 18-36. Storm sewer was installed through the winter and in the spring of 2014 runway pavement reconstruction commenced. Coordination was required to maintain aircraft operations on the perpendicular taxiways while 18-36 was closed. The reconstruction of the Taxiway S and Taxiway F intersection was completed in late 2014.
