Orlando International Airport – Taxiway J Rehabilitation
The Taxiway J Project is broken into 6 phases with each phase containing aircraft MOT, erosion control measures, and survey to meet critical FAA tolerances.
Each phase also included electrical upgrades to signage and centerline/edge lights, taxiway asphalt milling, widening of mainline and shoulder areas, full-depth mainline pavement reconstruction, and shoulder reconstruction. As-built surveys were completed throughout for process control. Asphalt paving and pavement markings along with final grading and sodding will bring each phase to completion.
The following items were required within several phases to maximize efficiency quality: drainage improvements, bridge joint replacement, asphalt to concrete joint restoration, Uretek stabilizing foam injection for approach slabs, and methacrylate bridge deck coating.

Scope of Work
- Taxiway milling and overlay
- Taxiway improvements: pavement geometry, markings, lighting, signage
- Taxiway bridge approach slab foam injection stabilization
- Bridge deck methacrylate coating
Unique Challenges
- The contract schedule was milestone-driven by phase, with liquidated damages of $10K/day for each phase.
- Weather impacts, along with unforeseen site conditions resulting in owner directed changes, added additional challenges to completing each phase on schedule.
- Aircraft MOT restrictions resulted in both day and night work being performed within FAA/TSA restricted and secured areas.
