ATW to enhance commercial aviation ramp to accommodate larger aircraft
APPLETON, Wis. – Appleton International Airport announced today it was awarded more than $3 million dollars in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Infrastructure Grant program.
The grant, made available from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, has been awarded to more than 3,000 airports nationwide to invest in infrastructure projects including runways, taxiways, safety and sustainability projects, as well as terminal, airport-transit connections and roadway projects.
“With the increasing amount of travelers using the airport, it’s imperative we have the infrastructure to meet that travel demand,” said Abe Weber, Appleton Aiport, director. “Our current commercial aviation ramp was constructed more than 25 years ago and this federal funding will allow us to improve the size and safety of the ramp, so we can service larger aircraft,” said Weber.
The Airport Infrastructure Grant program is one of three new aviation programs created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The law provides $15 billion over five years for the program and allows airports to work on projects that will modernize their infrastructure.
“The growth at Appleton Airport has been on an upwards trajectory,” said Thomas Nelson, Outagamie County Executive. “We’re grateful to the FAA for this funding so we can continue to offer Northeast Wisconsin travelers the fast, easy and convenient traveling experience they have come to know at ATW.”
PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
