Runway Safety Area Improvements. BWI Airport, Maryland.
Major renovations/improvements were implemented on the 15R-33L Runway and two taxiway areas, which included rehabilitation of pavement, shifting the runway centerline to meet FAA requirements, new shoulders, holding pads and roadways. The SWM design utilized environmental site design practices, infiltration trenches and temporary storage areas to address water quality and quantity management for watersheds around the airport. The design also addressed rapidly drain ditches to prevent standing water that would act as a wildlife attractant.
