- Arredondo, Zepeda & Brunz, LLC was responsible for site rough grading, preliminary drainage, final grading, site plan and pavement design for the Hardstand paving at this site.
- Additionally, we provided the boundary surveys, lease line surveys, topographic surveys and base mapping for this 50-acre facility.
Meacham Airport, Fort Worth, TX
- Arredondo, Zepeda & Brunz, LLC (AZ&B) was responsible for assisting the City of Fort Worth in improving the condition at Meacham International Airport for the 16L/34R Runway, the total reconstruction of its parallel Taxiway Alpha and preparing the work plan for the overall improvements to the airport.
- The runway improvements included an analysis and “Evaluation of Use”, which required a review of the runway to accommodate various types and sizes of aircrafts, and a proposal for minor improvements for its continued use. The project included the field survey, soil testing, preliminary design, and preparation of an engineer’s design report with recommendations and costs for the taxiway improvements. The design of the Taxiway included the redesign of drainage, sub-grade improvements, pavement, signing, lighting, pavement markings and High-Intensity Runway Lights (HIRL).
- The project was divided into three sections to allow the City to spread its cost over time. Due to the extensive revisions to the airport, AZ&B also revised the Airport Layout Plan and Signage Plan. The P.C.C. taxiway was 7,500’ x 150’and now serves as a backup runway.
DFW Airport, TX
- Arredondo, Zepeda & Brunz (AZ&B) was part of a design review and construction supervision team, with AZ&B staff using Primavera Project Planner (P3) to maintain and manage the project schedule for the DFW Skylink (formerly known as the Automated People Mover system).
- AZ&B also designed the horizontal alignment and vertical profile for the superstructure. The horizontal alignment design provides for spiral transitions when entering and leaving the curves ensuring a smooth ride for the passengers. A generic set of design standards was used to allow the car design companies an opportunity to bid on supplying the cars for the project.
- AZ&B uses P3 in its construction supervision role to verify schedule of values (SOV) by DFW bid items, monitored change order adjustments against the budget, monitored added/deleted activities on a monthly basis and verified percent complete by each phase of the project.
- The 26,000 linear foot guideway is elevated an average of 50 feet. This people mover system began operation in May 2005 and it is currently the largest elevated system of its kind in the United States. The construction cost of this high profile project is estimated at $800 million, with construction cost for AZ&B’s portion at $31 million.
DFW Airport, TX
- AZ&B designed the paving, grading and drainage. This facility covered approximately 30 acres and was designed in accordance to FAA requirements.
