Document Description
The Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (SBA) has designed an AC pavement rehabilitation project for five taxiways and a full depth reconstruction for a section of AC pavement near boarding gates 1 and 2. The following taxiways D “Delta”, F “Foxtrot”, and B1 “Bravo 1”, A1 “Alpha 1”, and A2 “Alpha 2” will undergo a mill and overlay rehabilitation where a milling machine will grind (mill) away the surface of the distressed AC pavement and a paver machine will repave the surface layer of AC pavement for a new taxiway pavement surface. The reconstruction of the AC pavement by the terminal apron will require a full depth excavation to the subgrade level to strengthen the subgrade foundation and rebuild the pavement profile with layers of aggregate base and AC pavement suitable for SBA’s current air fleet mix. In addition to the pavement repairs, SBA plans to reconfigure the airfield geometry resulting in less usable pavement on Taxiway B1 and the creation of Taxiway A2 by dividing Taxiway A1 into two separate taxiways. Each project location is within the secured fenced perimeter known as the Airport Operations Area (AOA) where only authorized airport personnel are allowed to enter.
