O’Hare Runway Rehabilitation
Runway 9C-27C Bid Package #3 & Runway 4L-22R
Meade utilized our One Meade approach, combining our electrical, civil and technology divisions, to provide our customer with a complete high quality electrical scope.
O’HARE RUNWAY REHABILITATION
The O’Hare Modernization Program (OMP) began in 2005 with the goal of changing O’Hare’s intersecting runways into a more modern, parallel layout to dramatically improve the efficiency of the airport while reducing delays in all weather conditions. As part of this $6.8 Billion dollar expansion, eight (8) operating runways will become the most of any commercial airport in the US.
The Bid Package #3 construction part of this project includes a portion of the new Runway 9C-27C, rehabilitation of Runway 4L-22R, associated taxiways, and rehabilitation of the North Airfield Lighting Control Vault. Work elements included airfield lighting, common electrical duct bank, vault electrical and FAA approach lighting.
