Runway 13/31 Work Continues

The airport is opened back up last week after work was completed along the taxiway and in the approach of 17/35. 

Last week, workers began demolishing and removing old panels on the taxiway and the north west end of Runway 13/31. The photos below show a truck hammering the panels to break up the concrete, which is then loosened and removed. 

Below, a panel on the taxiway is completely removed and steel rebar has been installed in preparation for pouring. Workers are in the process of pouring new panels on the taxiway and the north west end of the runway.

 After the more seriously damaged panels are removed and replaced and this phase of the project is completed, subcontractors will come in to seal joints and fix smaller issues like mudballs and minor cracks
