Warrenton-Fauquier Airport, VA
F&R is providing the Quality Control inspection services,which includes the drafting of the project Quality Control Plan for the Warrenton-Fauquier Airport Expansion. In addition to the Quality Control services, F&R is providing the testing and inspection of all the soils and base material underlying the new runway and taxiway. This project requires personnel to be on-site daily, and to interface with the design engineer, Campbell & Paris, as well as the general contractor. F&R has an on-site concrete laboratory in order to process cylinders. All test locations, soils and concrete, are plotted using a GPS portable device, and mapped on the construction plans provided by the engineer. F&R’s is providing the testing required for an FAA funded project.
Baltimore-Washington International Airport, MD
F&R provided the Contractor Quality Control Testing and Inspection services for Facchina Construction as it undertook the relocation of the rental car facility. This project required the development of 900,000 cubic yards of cut-to-fill earthwork, over 40 acres of surface parking facilities, a two million square foot state-of-the-art rental car facility, and a customer service mall. F&R’s technicians and engineers were responsible for materials testing and inspection activities on the project including, earthwork, concrete, reinforcing and post-tensioning steel, asphalt, and structural steel.
Newport News-Williamsburg Airport, VA
F&R has provided geotechnical engineering and materials testing services for a number of improvement projects at the Newport News-Williamsburg International Airport. Past projects have included the development of the terminal access road and parking improvements as well as the South Corporate Apron project. F&R is currently providing Acceptance Testing Services in accordance with FAA requirements for a pavement section consisting of lime-stabilized subgrade, sand drainage layer, cement-treated aggregate base, and a 13-inch Portland cement concrete pavement.
Greenville-Spartanburg Airport, SC
F&R performed a geotechnical investigation of an area proposed for a new five-level parking deck to match the existing parking structure at Greenville-Spartanburg Airport. F&R’s subsurface exploration consisted of over 10 borings ranging in depth from 25 to 105 feet below the ground surface. The depths of the borings were selected to provide adequate information for design of both shallow and deep foundations systems. Prior to construction, F&R also performed an asbestos and lead-based paint survey of the existing office/toll booth that was scheduled to be demolished to make way for the new parking deck.
Capital Expansion Program - Richmond International Airport, VA
F&R has performed construction materials testing services for the Capital Expansion Program at Richmond International Airport. Our services have consisted of testing and inspection for soils, concrete, masonry, and structural steel, as well as monitoring installation of caissons and pre-cast concrete piles. F&R has been involved with this phase of the capital expansion program for over five years. Some of the noteworthy projects at the airport have included the recently completed multi-level parking garage, the rental car garage, the new air traffic control tower, Concourse “C” expansion, and various taxiway, roadway and parking lot expansions. Of particular note is the multi-level parking garage, which is a cast-in-place concrete structure with post-tensioned slabs bearing on pre-cast concrete piles. F&R’s services were provided for the duration of the approximate 18 month project, and included concrete testing, post-tension monitoring, welding inspection of the pre-cast panel connections and pile driving analysis of the pre-cast concrete piles. Upcoming work at the airport will include the flyover roadways and terminal expansion.
