Taxiway A Completion, Austin–Bergstrom International
Airport
Austin, Texas
The project provides for the completion of the north and south sections of
Taxiway A which is currently a partial, parallel taxiway to Runway 17L-35R.
Design includes the recently added “Taxiway Design Group” criteria to
FAA AC 150/5300-13, “Airport Design”, for an increased pavement safety
margin during aircraft turning movements. The work will include asphalt
shoulders, extensions of the taxiway’s centerline and edge light circuits,
extensions to the area storm drain system, and addressing extraneous
aircraft pavement at the taxiway tie-ins at both ends of the runway.
Client:
City of Austin
Completed:
Ongoing
Cost:
$3 million (approximate)
Unique Problems/Solutions
Project Size:
Runway extensions: 1100’ x 75’ and
1625’ x 75’
Construction of the entire project under a proposed single fiscal year grant
will necessitate the use of both federal entitlement and discretionary funds.
The bid documents will address the north end of the taxiway as a base bid
and the south end of the taxiway as an additive. This will provide the City
of Austin with the maximum flexibility for award of the project.
Airfield Pavements
Airfield Lighting
Airfield pavements currently have 12.5’ wide asphalt shoulders. Alternates
will be included to construct either 12.5-feet wide asphalt shoulder per the
existing configuration or 35-feet wide asphalt shoulder in compliance with
the applicable taxiway design group criteria.
