Repair and Replacement of Taxiway Echo Pavement

The existing Taxiway Echo is situated east-to-west from Runway 18/36, crossing Taxiway Gulf and ending at Ramp Tango (Navy). The concrete slabs of the taxiway have been continuously plagued by cracking and groundwater seeping to the surface for years. The original construction of this taxiway shows it never included a drainage layer, therefore forcing an artesian condition, combined with a saturated clay base for the slabs, exerting pressure on the slabs. Addressing the deficiencies of the existing Taxiway Echo construction will require a full-depth demolition and construction conforming to contemporary standards for both the concrete and asphalt surfaces of the facility. Taxiway Echo consists of a 75-feet wide rigid (PCC) pavement slabs keel, with 50-feet wide flexible (asphalt) pavement shoulders at both sides, which connect Taxiway Gulf to the Ramp Tango (Navy).
