Rehabilitation and Strengthening of Runway 9-27

Lakeland Linder International Airport, located in Lakeland, Florida, serves as the city’s principal aviation facility and supports both commercial and general aviation activity. Runway 9-27 is the airport’s primary runway and required significant rehabilitation and strengthening of its flexible pavement to maintain operational reliability and meet performance standards for continued airfield use. The project was executed under an accelerated schedule to minimize disruption to airport operations while ensuring the long-term durability of the runway surface.

Atlantic Electric provided the complete airfield electrical scope of work for this project. Tasks included demolition of existing systems, installation of temporary lighting, directional drilling, and construction of duct banks, junction plazas, and conduits with grounding performed in accordance with UFC and NEC standards. The team also installed 5kV medium voltage circuiting, elevated and in-pavement runway and taxiway edge lights, base cans with steel covers for future expansion, airfield signs, and runway REILs. Due to the short duration of the contract, all electrical work was completed within a total of 98 calendar days, requiring precise coordination and efficient execution to meet the demanding schedule.
