$2.6 million GA apron expansion with complex utility coordination

Ardurra delivered design and permitting services for a $2.6 million general aviation (GA) apron expansion and redevelopment project at Salt Lake City International Airport, accommodating continued growth on the GA side of the facility. The project required demolition of the hangar and maintenance building, construction of an apron extension, and rehabilitation of the existing apron pavement, while managing extensive impacts to utility infrastructure.

The scope involved coordinating numerous above- and underground utilities, including CCTV systems, storm drainage networks, fiber-optic communications, and underground power, water, sewer, and gas lines. Strategic stakeholder coordination and careful phasing ensured secure site operations without affecting airport users during construction.
