Nashua Airport: Pavement Maintenance
Challenges:
- Taxiway ‘G’, ‘Alpha Ramp’, Hangar 1, 9 and 11 Ramps, and various taxilanes have pavements in poor condition
- Maintenance plan requires multiple rehabilitation strategies
Gale’s Solution:
- Obtained local and state environmental permits
- Rehabilitated approximately 123,820 square feet of airfield pavement, specifically:
- Remove pavement on existing taxilanes and on select taxiways and aprons
- Partial depth reconstruction used on select taxiways, taxilanes and aprons
- Mill, crack repair, and pavement overlay used on select taxiways and aprons
- Crack repair and pavement overlay on Taxiway ‘G’ and select taxilanes
For cost considerations, pavements were reclaimed on-ramps and taxilanes then mixed with base materials and repaved- Removed two unnecessary stub taxiways
- Updated drainage infrastructure in the work area
- Coordinate with Nashua DPW for underlying city utilities
- Utilized porous pavement on taxilane to promote positive drainage and reduce cost
