Flatiron is under contract with the City of Dallas for a $125 million project to reconstruct Love Field\u2019s Runway 13R-31L, the longer of the airport\u2019s parallel runways. Flatiron anticipates beginning the bid-build project this spring and completing in the summer of 2022.<\/p>\n
The project builds on Flatiron\u2019s extensive aviation construction experience at Dallas\/Fort Worth International Airport and at airports in Houston, Colorado Springs, Denver, San Diego and San Francisco.<\/p>\n
A significant challenge on the project will be the ambitious schedule to complete the 8,800-foot long, Runway 13R-31L which is Love Field\u2019s main commercial runway. In 1990, the runway received a significant concrete overlay, that has outlived its effective design life.<\/p>\n
The project will also enhance airfield safety and efficiencies. Planned improvements include:<\/p>\n
\u25aa\ufe0f Removing existing Runway 13R-31L and replacing pavement in 37.5-foot wide passes, 17\u201d thick.<\/p>\n
\u25aa\ufe0f Rebuilding portions of nearby Taxiway C.<\/p>\n
\u25aa\ufe0f Constructing a new Taxiway T that will allow Southwest Airlines easier access to airfields, hangars and terminals.<\/p>\n
\u25aa\ufe0f Installing a new Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) system.<\/p>\n
\u25aa\ufe0f Upgrading drainage and electrical infrastructure.<\/p>\n
Throughout the project, the Flatiron team will work closely with the Love Field team and other stakeholders to seek innovative solutions to achieve cost efficiencies and aggressive project schedules.<\/p>\n
In keeping with Flatiron\u2019s commitment to innovation and sustainability, portions of the existing concrete will be converted into Recycled Concrete Aggregate Base Course (P-219) and reused on the project.<\/p>\n
This project reinforces Flatiron\u2019s strong presence in Texas\u2014adding to 2020 wins at Lake Ralph Hall Reservoir valued at $70 million and George Bush Intercontinental Airport valued at $77 million.<\/p>\n
