RUNWAY 18R-36L MEMPHIS-SHELBY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, MEMPHIS, TN
PROJECT SCOPE Complete reconstruction of 9,350-foot Runway 18R-36L, including all lighting and ILS systems. CONTRACT VALUE $37 million TYPE Airport – concrete-paved runway and taxiway OWNER Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project consisted of the complete demolition and reconstruction of an existing 9,000-foot by 150-foot concrete runway plus the construction of a three-mile service road around the runway’s perimeter. The contract included the on-site crushing of 80,000 cubic yards of concrete pavement for use as backfill and sub-base material. Lane prepared 320,000 square yards of sub-grade for various pavements, which included 103,000 cubic yards of concrete and 91,000 tons of bituminous concrete. Lane installed a triple 10-foot by 10-foot by 250-foot box culvert under the new runway. Along the access road, Lane installed storm drainage and box culverts ranging in size from 15 inches in diameter through seven-foot by five-foot box culverts.
PROJECT BACKGROUND Memphis International Airport is one of the world’s busiest cargo airports and serves as the global hub for FedEx operations. It’s also the hub for Delta Airlines. With flights landing and departing on a 24/7 schedule, it was essential for Lane to complete the runway reconstruction as quickly as possible to minimize impact to airport operations. PROJECT BENEFITS • Enabled runway to handle heavy, wide-body aircraft including the Airbus A-380 • Kept airport disruption to a minimum because of fast project completion ABOUT LANE The Lane Construction Corporation is one of America’s premier heavy contractors and the preferred partner on projects that connect and improve the communities and the world in which we live. Founded by railroad engineer John S. Lane in 1890, Lane constructs quality bridges, highways, locks and dams and mass transit and airport systems in 20 states. In its 121year history, Lane has never failed to complete a contract. Lane is an industry leader in the public-private partnership (P3) arena. The company and its partners are currently constructing one of the largest P3 projects in the United States, the $1.5 billion Capital Beltway HOT Lanes in northern Virginia.
This fast track project required the coordination of numerous subcontractors. The project received national recognition for its quick completion, and Lane earned a bonus for finishing it five weeks ahead of an already demanding schedule.
