Construction Management Project Also Recognized
The American Council of Engineering Companies of North Carolina
(ACEC-NC) recently honored Michael Baker Engineering as a 2011
Engineering Excellence Honors award winner for the Piedmont Triad
International Airport (PTIA) Development Program, and Program and
Construction Management Services for the Piedmont Triad Airport
Authority (PTAA).
The program consisted of the development of the FedEx
Mid-Atlantic Hub site, the construction of Runway 5L-23R, the
construction of Taxiway E, the extension of Taxiway K to serve the
new FedEx site, relocation of Bryan Boulevard, implementation of
ancillary projects, permitting, and environmental mitigation
efforts. The program was implemented to allow for the development
of the FedEx Mid-Atlantic Hub facility and provide the
infrastructure to allow for the expanded operations created by
FedEx and the increased traffic expected by a growing economic
engine that the new FedEx facility is expected to provide.
The completed program is expected to create many jobs in the
Piedmont Triad region. The region has seen a reduction in jobs
associated with declines in the tobacco, textile, and furniture
industries over the past several decades. It is expected that the
presence of the new FedEx Mid-Atlantic Hub at PTIA will spur
additional development in the region by companies that seek to take
advantage of the facility in order to meet increasingly tight
logistics demands in the economy. This will increase the
region’s capacity and ability to serve as transportation
crossroads.
