Balfour Beatty lands North Carolina runway

The project for Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority involves building a new primary runway and converting the existing one into a taxiway.

The 5L/23R Replacement Program will move the runway about 150m to the northwest and allow for future expansion of the airport’s Terminal 2 (T2) concourse.

Balfour Beatty will serve as construction manager at-risk (CMAR) and provide pre-construction and construction services to construct the new runway parallel to the existing runway, and demolish and replace the existing runway with a new taxiway. The programme will also include the relocation of a portion of a road to accommodate the new runway location.

“We are honoured to continue our 10-year partnership with the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority through the construction of their new 5L/23R runway replacement project,” said Trent Johnson, Balfour Beatty project executive in Raleigh. “Aviation is a strong market sector for our southeast operations, and our team members are excited to build on this expertise while staying committed to delivering our client’s goals.”

In addition to working on RDU’s runway replacement program, Balfour Beatty is currently delivering the airport’s ‘West Remain Over Night’ aircraft parking apron and runway slab replacement projects. Balfour Beatty will leverage its work on these projects along with advice from its infrastructure business in Wilmington to plan earthmoving operations through the execution of conveyor systems. The company’s buildings business will also play a role, drawing on its experience with CMAR relationships with the local subcontractor market in the Raleigh-Durham community.

The approximate five-year construction of RDU’s new primary runway will begin once the airport completes the environmental assessment process, which is currently in progress with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The project will employ more than 20 Balfour Beatty team members and over 1,000 subcontractor employees over the course of the replacement programme. In addition, RDU has set goals to ensure local businesses have the opportunity to bid on the construction of the new runway.
