Project Description:
HMB provided engineering design and construction inspection services for the
extension of Taxiway "C" (Charlie) at the Nashville International
Airport in Nashville, Tennessee. The concrete extension, when completed, increased
the length of the taxiway 1,500 feet to a total of 9,420 feet. The extension
of taxiway C provided for complete use of the runway and for improved storage
of airplanes. The taxiway pavement consisted of 18" Portland cement concrete
and 9" crushed aggregate base of most of the project with a transitional
area consisting of FAA bituminous concrete surface. The taxiway shoulders were
paved with TDOT bituminous concrete surface. Medium intensity taxiway lights
and signage were installed for this new section. The extension of Taxiway Charlie
allows Boeing 747's (for international flights), full use of the runway, and
improves access to storage areas.
