Apron expansion delayed after concrete test strip failed; contractor shifts to overnight pours
Summary
Contractor reported a failed test strip and about a two‑week delay on the apron expansion; corrective mix/placement steps were taken and overnight pours (8 p.m.–8 a.m.) were scheduled to improve curing and complete the work.
A contractor representative reported the airport’s apron expansion experienced a quality setback when an early concrete test strip failed to meet specifications and had to be removed, delaying the schedule roughly two weeks.
The contractor said it adjusted placement procedures and planned overnight pours to aid curing and meet specifications; production paving was expected to begin on the contractor’s schedule the following night. "We're anticipating about a week and a half of pouring concrete overnight for those guys," the representative said, and added crews would follow with asphalt and painting when slabs meet specification.
Why it matters: the apron work affects ramp availability, staging for fuel and rental hangars and the schedule for adjacent construction. Staff said the contractor requested a May 25 start for a related apron reconstruction near rental hangars; scheduling could shift if necessary but the contractor indicated a firm start window was in the near term.
Next steps: contractor will proceed with overnight pours and staff will coordinate any phasing or short‑term operational impacts with airport tenants.
