Hochtief firm Flatiron wins $125m runway replacement contract at Dallas Love Field
6 February 2021Flatiron, a subsidiary of Germany’s Hochtief, has won a $125m contract with the City of Dallas to reconstruct Love Field’s Runway 13R-31L, the longer of the airport’s runways.
With the airport’s main commercial, 2.68-km (8,800-foot) runway being overhauled, Hochtief a joint effort would be made to “achieve cost efficiencies and aggressive project schedules”.
Flatiron anticipates starting the bid-build project this spring and completing in the summer of 2022.
The runway got a concrete overlay in 1990, which has outlived its effective design life.
Despite the tight schedule, portions of that concrete will be converted into Recycled Concrete Aggregate Base Course (P-219) and reused on the project.
The project will also enhance airfield safety and efficiencies. Planned improvements include:
1、Removing existing Runway 13R-31L and replacing pavement in 37.5-foot wide passes, 17 inches thick;
2、Rebuilding portions of nearby Taxiway C;
3、Constructing a new Taxiway T that will allow Southwest Airlines easier access to airfields, hangars and terminals;
4、Installing a new Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) system; and
5、Upgrading drainage and electrical infrastructure.
This project adds to 2020 contract wins in Texas at Lake Ralph Hall Reservoir, valued at $70m, and George Bush Intercontinental Airport, valued at $77m.
Flatiron has aviation construction experience at Dallas/Fort Worth International and at airports in Houston, Colorado Springs, Denver, San Diego and San Francisco.
