TAMPA, Fla., USA: Atkins, a member of the SNC-Lavalin Group, is pleased to announce that two of its projects have received general aviation project of the year awards from the American Association of Airport Executives - Southeast Chapter (AAAE-SEC), including the Lakeland Linder International Airport (LAL) Runway 9-27 rehabilitation and the Naples Airport aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) station.
Atkins was lead designer for the LAL Runway 9-27 strengthening and rehabilitation project, which won the AAAE-SEC General Aviation Project of the Year - Airfield Category. The 8,500-foot runway was completely rehabilitated within a tight 108-day timeline. The project required 94,000 tons of asphalt and 53,000 tons of lime rock, while the Airport's CAT I instrument landing system (ILS) was upgraded to a SA CAT II ILS.
Atkins was lead designer for the Naples Airport ARFF station replacement project, which won General Aviation Project of the Year - Architectural Category. The project replaced the Airport's previous ARFF station, which was built in 1989, with a state-of-the-art facility built to withstand a Category 5 hurricane, and includes an emergency operations center to improve emergency response access to the surrounding community.
'These projects were both the culmination of years of planning, collaboration and hard work by our team of dedicated planners, engineers, architects and construction managers who labored tirelessly to build safe and reliable airport infrastructure,' said Tom Roda, Division Manager, Atkins aviation business. 'We are proud to have worked with our clients, including the City of Lakeland and the City of Naples Airport Authority, to deliver these important projects that will help make flying safer and more convenient for air travelers and cargo operators.'
