PROJECT OVERVIEW
Excavation, drainage installation, concrete flatwork, sub base installation, asphalt paving, EMAS block installation, striping, runway grooving and some minor electrical work.
WHAT MADE THIS JOB COMPLEX
Working at a fully operational airport presents a number of issues. None bigger than the fact that planes have to land and take off safely all day and night. Posillico installed patented EMAS safety blocks at the end of the runways to slow planes in case they overshoot the tarmac.
HOW POSILLICO SOLVED IT
Posillico solved this major issue by coordinating with the FAA and various other agencies within the airport.
