Airport Construction Administration
Airport construction is an investment in the future. By upgrading an airport’s operations, they provide gre er operational efficiency and safety benefits to operators and travelers alike. With five licensed pilots on staff, McClure understands the importance of quality airport infrastructure – we use it ourselves. With a team of aviation consultants, engineers, and planners, we have high standards for your next project, whether you’re working on hangars, runways, or other essential infrastructure.
We specialize in airport construction administration, as well as construction staking and on-site observation services to ensure efficiency from design to the finished product. We know that these projects are vital to future operations, and as such will guide them to a successful conclusion.
What Is Airport Construction Administration?
Construction administration involves coordinating with the con actors to make sure the project is built as designed. McClure’s construction administration team identifies the best use of time and resources, helping avoid unanticipated costs or delays and keeping projects on track.
The process may include:
• Reviewing contractor’s plans and proposed materials.
• Conducting progress meetings to monitor progress.
• Reviewing change orders and inspection reports.
• Keeping track of all materials and associated costs.
• Acting as liaison between the contractor, stakeholders, and facility owner.
• Addressing problems, questions, and challenges that surface during the construction process.
Most important, construction administrators ensure the construction teams follow the design plans and specifications as closely as possible. This is critical because many aviation projects must be completed in accordance with a host of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards and regulations. State and local codes may also be involved.
Benefits of Construction Administration with McClure:
- A Streamlined Process with Fewer Delays:Â By working directly with the contractors, our construction administration team keeps the process moving by quickly addressing issues or providing information to the contractor.
- Healthy, Well-Managed Budgets:Â Our Construction administration team carefully monitors the budget evaluating any submitted change orders or requested material substitutions.
- Regulatory Standards Met: McClure’s in-depth knowledge of FAA construction guidelines and applicable state requirements ensure that our teams’ projects are built exactly to your specifications.
- Close Communication with all Parties:Â Our Construction administration team communicates with the many stakeholders at an airport, addressing the different concerns and the needs of airlines, air traffic control, security officials, passengers, staff, hangar tenants, and other impacted groups.
Why Choose On-Site Construction Observation?
On-site construction observation adds an extra er of security for airport operators and owners. McClure’s on-site construction obse ers make daily trips to the work site, assessing the project’s progress, and making sure contractors have not made any unauthorized changes.
These safeguards are especially necessary at an airport, where any improvements, renovations, and new construction must comply with FAA standards and regulations. Additionally, federal regulations require on-site construction administration be conducted for large airport construction projects.
What Is Construction Staking?
Construction staking is a way for the design and engineering teams to show contractors exactly where to build specific structures at a work site. McClure’s survey and design crews communicate these important details by driving wooden stakes in the ground to visualize careful measurements of the dimensions.
When finished, this network of stakes provides the contractor a three-dimensional map on the ground, showing them exactly where to put items such as utilities, exterior walls, or pavement.
Managing Construction Projects at Active Airports
Airports play a pivotal role in the local, state, and global economy. In many instances they cannot even dose during a construction project. This presents a unique challenge, especially in large cities where airports are more likely to be under space constraints.
McClure can navigate these logistical challenges. While contractors need access and room to work, that must be balanced with the strict security needs of airports as well as the safety of staff, passengers, and the construction crew.
Where We Make an Impact
Through our culture of flying, McClure has the insight and in-depth knowledge of aviation to guide your airport construction projects to efficient, timely completion.
