Denver International Airport has awarded CH2M a contract for gate apron rehabilitation and drainage improvements.

The three-year project encompasses professional engineering support and technical services for enhancements adjacent to concourses A, B and C. Included are pavement evaluations, replacement of deteriorating apron pavement, mitigation of apron drainage issues and ponding, as well as preventing water infiltration into concourse basements.

Utility and infrastructure work includes installation of a new drainage system, utility vault adjustments, demolition of baggage tunnels and dog houses, removal of de-icing tanks, replacement of sand-oil interceptors and replacement of grease traps.

Denver International, in the state of Colorado, is the sixth busiest US gateway by passenger traffic. CH2M programme manager Nick Rollo said that a critical success factor for the project will be coordinating construction activities with airlines, concessionaires, airport management and ground transportation to support ongoing flight operations.

CH2M has provided airfield engineering services to Denver International since it opened in 1995. More than 50 projects have been completed, including the design of two of the original runways as well as the runway number six.

    Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport in the south-east of Poland is now benefiting from a new taxiway constructed over a 50-month period and costing some €22.5 million. The work was required as the airport needs to increase capacity to cope with growing passenger traffic. The main portion of the project was for the construction of a 3km long taxiway, which lies parallel to the airport’s main runway. This taxiway now allows aircraft to manoeuvre away from the single runway and free up capacity for take-offs and land
