 Burk-Kleinpeter,
Inc. (BKI) developed construction
documents, including plans and specifications for
the installation of an asphaltic overlay of existing
taxiways, pavement striping, grading, and seeding
for Taxiway “E” and Taxiway “L” at the Baton Rouge
Airport. The taxiways measured 1,103 feet and 3,290
feet, respectively.
The Greater Baton Rouge Airport District selected
BKI for this assignment due to the firm’s reputation
for successfully advancing projects with limited
time frames. The project had to be designed and
ready for bid in six weeks in order to utilize
additional FAA grant money prior to end of the
government fiscal year.
BKI designed adjustments to the profile of each
taxiway. The design included leveling course and
surface course/thickness, computation of edge
profiles, pavement striping plan, airport safety
plan, sequence of construction plan, construction
erosion control plan,
grading, and seeding. BKI also provided quantity
estimates, typical sections and details, and cost
estimating.
The total construction cost for this project was
approximately $353,000.
