Ft. Worth Alliance Airport Runway Extension Project
This project extended two existing runways and associated taxiways at the world’s first 100% industrial airport designed for cargo and corporate aviation: the Ft. Worth Alliance Airport (AFW). The two existing runways (16L/34R & 16R/34L) were extended to 11,000 feet.
Overview
AFW is located in the nation’s fastest-growing industrial complex and offered an array of flight services, including air cargo, corporate, and military aviation. The expansion allows for bigger planes from huge global cargo carriers to take off and land at the airport.
This project was divided into three phases. The first phase of the project consists of demolition work, earthwork, completion of one runway, and airfield electrical infrastructure. The extension of the second runway occured during the second phase along with additional earthwork and installation of most navigational aids. The final phase extended the taxiway and relocated an adjacent road (Eagle Parkway) and an airport perimeter road.
