In collaboration with the designer TRACE, this project involved the construction of two new acute angle taxiway connectors, namely A6 and A8, within DVT’s north airfield. The comprehensive project scope encompassed the installation of 7,545 SY of new P-401 AC pavement, 7,545 SY of P-209 crushed ABC, and 8,045 SY of P-155 lime-treated subgrade. Additionally, the project included the removal of 8,690 SY of green P-218 crushed aggregate, the placement of 15,714 SY of green P-218 crushed aggregate, the installation of new storm drain pipe and catch basins, and the incorporation of new electrical hand holes to facilitate the routing of the runway homerun circuit.

Furthermore, the project involved the implementation of taxiway edge lighting and runway guard lights. Notably, all construction activities were conducted during nighttime hours to minimize disruptions to DVT Operations.

Implementation of construction phasing strategies was a key aspect of this project to mitigate impacts on DVT user groups, tenants, and operations. The construction activities were carefully planned and phased to minimize disruptions, ensuring that the day-to-day functioning of the airport remained as uninterrupted as possible.
