Apron Replacement at an Operating Airport Terminal
Pavement replacement at any airport is a major undertaking. The more work that is done, the greater the demand on the existing system. When the work to be done is a complete replacement of the existing apron pavement around the operating terminals of one of the busiest airports in the world, the headaches multiply exponentially! Coordination, cooperation, and flexibility become key to a successful project. This paper will take a look at apron replacement at O'Hare International Airport during the 1999 and 2000 construction seasons. It will focus on discussions of the original design for apron replacement, the efforts to start construction, safety considerations, and the actual work undertaken around Concourse G. It will conclude with a look at replacement work started at the end of the 2000 season along the apron inlet lines in the middle of the pavement and recommendations for future coordination to continue the work begun.
