Logan Airport Runway 9-27 Rehabilitation

Transformation of Vital Runway and Infrastructure at a Leading US Airport

Logan International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the US. One of its major runways—Runway 9-27 which typically handles 30%-50% of the airport’s departures—was in need of major rehabilitation. DOC led the work which included milling and paving, shifting and realignment of taxiways D-1 and D-2, drainage improvements, and installation of new LED edge and centerline lights.

Site work included pavement milling and removal, earthwork (excavation and embankment), hot mix asphalt paving, crack repairs, conduit, light base and light fixture installation, in-pavement and elevated light adjustments, top soiling and seeding, runway grooving, pavement markings and airfield guidance sign modifications.

Project Highlights

• BIM Utilization: The team used 3D modeling to calculate milling and excavation quantities, comparing surface data gathered by the field engineers to the existing surface data from the design team
