Featured Projects
-
In addition to the pavement rehabilitation, this project also included rehabilitation of existing paved shoulders, construction of new paved shoulders where none existed, subsurface drainage improvements, and new pavement markings.
What used to be rated as one of the worst airfields in North Carolina, Laurinburg-Maxton Airport is now considered one of the finest general aviation airports in the southeast...
WK Dickson provided final design and bid phase services for a 20-acre undeveloped site at the airport to support a new aircraft apron, hangar and other features for HAECO Airframe Services.
-
The Airport Authority worked with WK Dickson and its architect to design a new terminal facility on the adjacent to the existing terminal site. The project included demolition of the existing 2,200 SF terminal and construction of a new 8,800 SF terminal facility.
Both Greene County and GDOT are interested in developing 3J7 from a B-II into a C-II designation airport over the long term. The first step toward this goal was a project to overlay and widen the runway from 75’ to 100’.
Taxiway G at the Greenville Spartanburg International Airport was exhibiting severe pavement distress, including rutting, shoving, and severe cracking. A preliminary investigation was completed to determine the cause of the distress.
-
WK Dickson provided engineering services necessary to assess and provide rehabilitation recommendations for portions of the airport roadways north of John Brantley Boulevard and Terminals 1 and 2.
WK Dickson planned and designed a new cargo apron to serve up to nine Boeing 747-800's. The airside development for phase 1 includes a 60,000 SY concrete ramp and a taxilane connector tie-in to the existing parallel taxiway “L.” Landside development includes a rough graded pad for a future 200’x800’ building and vehicle parking lot.
WK Dickson is providing engineering services for the rehabilitation of Taxiway B. The project includes removal of the existing concrete, asphalt base, and subgrade to a depth of 34” and construction of approximately 92,000 SY of new concrete pavement as well as construction of new paved shoulders.
-
This multi-year, multi-phase runway extension and runway safety area project included the movement of approximately 1.4 million cubic yards of fill and will help fulfill the long-term goal to bring the runway safety area up to standards for safer operations at the airport and extend the runway.
WK Dickson conducted distress surveys, non-destructive testing, geotechnical investigation, pavement condition index computations, and visual inspection of the existing pavement on John Brantley Blvd. This data was used to develop a roadway evaluation network which was incorporated into a GIS database.
Fairfield County commissioned WK Dickson to design and oversee construction of this project to improve the existing Runway Safety Area (RSA) and extend the runway to accommodate larger aircraft.
-
Out with the old...in with the new. WK Dickson provided the design, bidding and construction phase services necessary to demolish the existing terminal building and construct a new 4,500 SF building.
Project entailed rehabilitation of the runway and taxiway pavement in addition to repairing the existing airfield perimeter access road and providing drainage improvements.
WK Dickson provided project management and civil engineering services for this new $7.5M single-story, 20,000 SF Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) station building at GSP.
