TAA Leaders Recount Milestone Year; At their annual meeting Monday (January 28), members of the Tucson Airport Authority (TAA) heard leadership recount 2018 as “a milestone year” of achievements with more to be accomplished in 2019. Highlighting some of the events that celebrated the TAA’s 70th anniversary in 2018, Board Chair Lisa Lovallo listed some of the year’s achievements, which included:
Following Lovallo’s speech, TAA President and CEO Bonnie Allin talked about what lies ahead in 2019, including projects for the TUS terminal to add family restrooms, add small and unique concessions, build children’s play areas on the concourses and renovate the Military Lounge. She also told TAA members of a long-range project that would reconfigure the entire front of the airport terminal into what’s being called an Airport Travel Plaza. Citing new technologies that have changed the modes of ground transportation, such as Lyft and Uber, “we see landside facilities being completely changed,” she said. “We intend to say ahead of this rapidly changing environment.” Allin finished her talk by noting that airlines have scheduled a 12.6% increase in scheduled capacity through the first half of 2019, which is about three times the national average. “This is a tremendous vote of confidence that airlines are betting on Tucson to fill these added seats and sustain this scheduled growth,” Allin said. “I encourage you to do all you can to help Tucson meet this challenge and not squander the opportunity. |
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.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
