IND Runway 5L-23R and Taxiway B Rehabilitation
The Indianapolis Airport Authority (IAA) identified the need to rehabilitate Runway 5L-23R and a portion of Taxiway B at Indianapolis International Airport (IND), both having served for over 20 years and undergone prior repairs. Approximately 58,000 square yards of pavement were replaced alongside routine concrete repairs, as outlined in the IAA's pavement management plan. CHA provided project administration, preliminary construction safety and phasing plan development, bidding assistance, and design at various stages, all in line with Federal Aviation Administration standards.
Additionally, CHA facilitated a contractor outreach event to engage stakeholders, gather input, and improve project plans. They also organized a project charrette for IND users and stakeholders to share preliminary construction plans and scope. Later, a secondary agreement was established for construction phase services. CHA managed the project, coordinated construction, provided technical support to on-site representatives, and facilitated communication regarding contract administration, project changes, and construction matters with the IAA.
Project summary
Approximately 58,000 square yards of pavement were replaced.
The 11,200-foot runway was rehabilitated on an fast-track schedule.
The original runway and taxiway pavement was in service for over 20 years.
