Nome Airport Rehabilitation 2019

Client
Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities
Location
Nome, Alaska
Construction Value
$27.8 million

This rehabilitated Runways 10-28 and 3-21 with stabilized base course and provided a long-term solution for the settlement occurring at the end of Runway 10. This area was reconstructed using 1,222 8” micro piles, installed on an 8’ triangular grid and seated on bedrock to support the runway end as a “bridge” structure. The design also included Runway 28 crack repair, ARFF apron repair, lighting replacement, paving and striping.

R&M performed a geotechnical investigation/recommendations and prepared an EDR, CSPP, ESCP and PS&E. R&M is also providing construction inspection services, submittal reviews and change order documentation.

Construction was completed in 2022.

Air transportation is vital to the regional hub community of Nome. R&M’s innovative design using micro piles to mitigate settlement will greatly reduce maintenance costs.

Stage II geotechnical drilling operations in a recurring runway pavement settlement area. Results were used to develop interpretations and recommendations for alternate concepts of long-term repair to distressed pavement areas. (R&M, Summer 2019)
Stage I geotechnical drilling operations in an area of runway pavement with moderate to high severity depressions. Results provided recommendations for construction of near-term repairs (R&M, Winter 2018)
R&M’s innovative solution on the Nome project used 1,222 8” micro piles, installed on an 8’ triangular grid and seated on bedrock to support the runway end as a “bridge” structure.
