Taxiway R Reconstruction and Terminal Apron Expansion
Taxiway R Reconstruction and Terminal Apron Expansion
Orlando Sanford International Airport, Sanford, FL
Cost $12.3M
Project Description
This project included partial reconstruction of Taxiway R and the expansion of the Apron to accommodate additional aircraft parking near the Terminal as the current Terminal Apron had reached its expansion limit to the east (adjacent to Taxiway C). The apron expansion geometry accounts for future Terminal Expansion to the southeast, as identified on the current FAA-approved Airport Layout Plan (ALP), to ensure the apron parking will not obstruct any future airport development or protected areas/surfaces such as the Runway Visibility Zone (RVZ). The parameters for both the geometry and the pavement design for the Apron Expansion was based on ADG V, TDG 6 aircraft (A340-600) to support current Airport needs.
