Airfield Deficiency Repairs

Benham provided an Airfield Operational Assessment and developed phased construction documents for multiple projects addressing mission essential airfield systems. The assessment and basis of design package identified deficiencies and proposed upgrades to bring to current standards the airfield layout, marking, lighting, signage, and electric circuits and associated airfield lighting vault and equipment as well as 1,254,996 sf of pavement rehabilitation. The upgrades brought the airfield up to UFC, Navy, and FAA standards, and improved system reliability and energy efficiency.

“The client group: Navy Region, NAVFAC SE, the base PWD/FEAD personnel, and the (multiple) airfield users have all expressed complete satisfaction with the way the AE(Benham) handled information gathering, the professionalism of all the project engineers, and the team’s genuine interest, concern and knowledge of the mission criteria and goals.”
