b'RUNWAYSBNA 472-mile-long pipeline that crosses the runway and taxiway needed preservation during the recent runway reconstruction.Complex CalculationsSisemore quickly assembled a team to assist with the complex project. Garver first engaged Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions to assess concerns about continued settlement over the quarry. Wood performed subsurface exploration, laboratory testing, fill embankment settlement assessments and stability assessments. After analyzing the effectiveness of previous stabilization efforts, the firm developed a new strategy for mitigating settlement to optimize pavement performance for the runway. Later in the project, Wood examined blasting plans during rock excavation.We completed deep bores and found most settlement had stopped, Sisemore reports. But they also learned more about deep fills. For instance, the slightest earth movement over time rounds the angular edges of deep fill and causes settlement.
