Van Nuys Airport Runway 16R Rehabilitation 

Location: Van Nuys, CA

Client: Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA)

This project rehabilitated and modernized the airport’s 8,000-ft runway (16R/34L) to meet current Federal Aviation Administration design standards.  A combination of asphalt overlay and partial reconstruction was phased over three sections of the main runway (north, south and center).  The project included:

  • Mill and overlay 4,400-sf of the runway’s center section
  • Enhancements to the run-up area
  • Installation of a new blast fence
  • Repairs on existing concrete runway ends
  • Reconstruction of runway and shoulder pavements
  • Updated lighting and airfield markings

Crews worked around the clock in order to minimize impact to air travel through one of the world’s busiest general aviation airports.  Construction was completed in 10 months.
