The City of Winnemucca desired to update the Winnemucca Municipal Airport Layout Plan to address key issues, objectives, and goals pertinent to the airport’s development. The Scope of Work included a detailed effort to successfully complete the Airport Layout Plan and brief narrative, addressing the needs of the community and providing a program for realistic development. The scope included selected drawings from the Airport Layout Plan drawing set, a brief narrative, preparation of a six-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) with recommended project years and a 20-year overall recommended development plan.
Armstrong’s airport planning team provided land acquisition services of approximately 168 acres of land to the south of Runway 32 for the protection of the Runway Protection Zone and approach surface. Our team also completed the Environmental Assessment process in which we determined that the land transfer would have little effect on the natural environment in the area.
This project consisted of rehabilitating Taxiways A and B. The pavement was experiencing large cracks that extended through the asphalt surface course. In an effort to mediate these cracks and correct grade issues, the asphalt surface was profiled milled 2-3 inches, the milled surface was crack sealed and interlayer fabric placed over major cracks, then the prepared surface was overlaid with 2-3 inches of asphalt and remarked.
The City of Winnemucca has had the pleasure of working with [Armstrong] on numerous airport capital projects in the past and has found their expertise and professionalism to be outstanding. Due to their proven ability to obtain FAA grant funding and to design/complete our airport construction projects in an efficient manner, the Airport Board has continued to re-appoint them as our airport consultant for the past two decades.
