Ankeny Regional Airport, Taxiway D Apron and Access Road

Ankeny, IA

The Ankeny Regional Airport currently has a waiting list with over 50 potential tenants showing interest in occupying hangars. To alleviate the hangar demand, the Airport tasked McClure with design, bidding, and construction administration services to construct aircraft parking aprons along the Taxiway D Access Road, Phases 2 & 3. The purpose of these projects is to spur private development investment in vertical infrastructure. The proposed actions evaluated by McClure included:

• Constructing a paved access road to connect to Phase 2 & 3 Hangars
• Construct proposed aircraft parking aprons for the Phase 2 & 3 Hangars
• Relocate an existing ditch to accommodate hangar and access road
• Provide utility service connections to each proposed hangar location
• Set access road elevations to accommodate parking access at each proposed hangar

McClure worked closely with the Polk County Aviation Authority and the potential Phase 2 & 3 Hangar tenants to ensure this project was completed on schedule and under budget.
