Mass Parking Apron Repair

The project involves comprehensive rehabilitation of aircraft parking apron pavement at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, with the removal of approximately 53,000 square yards of existing 15- to 18-inch-thick Portland cement concrete and replacement with 55,200 square yards of 18-inch and 9,600 square yards of 12-inch concrete pavement, all meeting the stringent UFGS 32 13 14.13 specifications for military airfield pavements. These requirements include rigorous limits on deleterious materials in aggregates, mandatory alkali-silica reactivity testing, and a durability standard requiring either a minimum five-year successful service history in freeze-thaw environments across three projects or a durability factor of 50 or higher as determined by ASTM C 666, Procedure A. Additionally, 10,000 square yards of 2-inch and 1,220 square yards of 6.5-inch hot-mix asphalt will be removed, with 1,800 square yards of new 6.5-inch asphalt installed per UFGS 32 12 15.13. Associated work includes installation of preformed and poured joint sealants, replacement of cathodic protection test pits, pavement marking, seeding, and minor grading. The project is fully designed, with performance taking place entirely on-site at Minot AFB and an estimated completion timeline of 17 months, from September 2026 to February 2028.
