Sky Harbor Intl. Airport Center Runway<br />
<strong>Construction</strong> Cost: $66 million<br />
Start Date: July, 2002<br />
Completion Date: August, <strong>2003</strong><br />
Owner: City of Phoenix<br />
General Contractor: Ames <strong>Construction</strong>/<br />
Coffman Specialties<br />
<strong>Construction</strong> Manager: Parsons Brinckerhoff<br />
Engineer: Kimley-Horne & Associates<br />
Electrical: Rural Electric<br />
Summary: Sky Harbor is one of the 10 busiest<br />
airports in the nation, with more than 500,000 aircraft<br />
landings and takoffs a year. After rebuilding<br />
the north runway, the joint venture of Ames <strong>Construction</strong><br />
and Coffman Specialty Services takes on<br />
the challenge of reconstructing the center runway<br />
in a very compressed schedule while the busy airport<br />
continues to operate. The existing asphalt runway<br />
was milled down to act as a base course, and<br />
more than 190,000 cu. yds. of concrete was laid<br />
18-inches thick as the primary surface. This will<br />
improve the overall maintenance requirements<br />
and the life of the runway. Other phases of the<br />
project include lighting and navigation upgrades to<br />
the nearly 2-mile long runway.
