Repair Runway Touchdowns & Turnarounds
Location: Cape Canaveral SFS, FL
CLIENT: AFCEC
COST: $50.5 Million
STATUS: Completed
BARLOVENTO provided airfield construction services for five phases of renovation and reconstruction of the 10,000 foot Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS), FL Runway 13/31.
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS: DBB airfield project encompassing:
-
51,733 SY of 16" PCC Pavement
-
15,409 SY Of 4" HMA Pavement
-
5,894 SY of 3" HMA Pavement
-
52,247 SY OF 6" PPC Pavement.
Project included airfield concrete repairs: full depth slab removal and replacement, partial-depth repairs (spall repairs), compression seals, asphalt paving, airfield lighting, and pavement markings. Civil and site work included demolition, mass excavation of subgrade, building the road to the batch plant site, rough grading, final grading, grading and dressing of shoulders, infrastructure work, and proper drainage compliance throughout the project.
Project challenges included environmental compliance, active airfield challenges, displaced thresholds, and weather-related issues. Environmental compliance required an environmental impact study, permitting, surveys, and the safe removal and relocation of 100+ Gopher Tortoises. Active airfield challenges included the airfield remaining open with a displaced threshold (Phase I). Additionally, due to the site's proximity to CS-36 Blue Origin, we were required to shut down operations anywhere from 6-24 hrs. for each launch protocol. Our team had to communicate constantly with the Control Tower to eliminate interference with airfield operations. Additionally, the project encountered a base closure due to Hurricane Milton. Notwithstanding a multitude of challenges, this project was completed 90 days ahead of schedule.

Location: Ft. Sam Houston, TX
CLIENT: AFCEC
COST: $21.4M
STATUS: Completed
​
BARLOVENTO provided DB and DBB services for this four-story, 148,000 SF Administrative Office Building and Medical Facility complete renovation project.
​
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS: This building is a historic site and required approval from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) for exterior and interior construction efforts. The project scope of work included ACM abatement, interior demolition, interior CMU walls, metal studs, drywall, paint, flooring, electrical, frames, door and hardware, plumbing, fire suppression, HVAC, fire alarm, telecommunications, engine generator set, storm drainage, and site work. Technical challenges included adding a D/B component for the HVAC system. Unforeseen site conditions prohibited the installation of the HVAC system, requiring a re-design due to ceiling height conditions. Design efforts included a complete engineering solution for the installation of the HVAC system. Other challenges included historic window replacements which required extensive research to match the current windows, with an extensive lead time, while working with the SHPO.
