DISCUSSION
The Air Carrier Ramp (Ramp) at the Long Beach Airport is used to park large commercial aircraft for the loading and unloading of passengers and baggage. The Ramp is beyond the end of its useful life. The Phase III portion of this project will include the reconstruction of badly deteriorated pavement adjacent to previous phases of the work. The work will also include the installation of utility systems to provide connection points for both electrical power and pre-conditioned air carts at aircraft parking positions 6 through 10, pavement markings, pedestrian walkways to aircraft, sewer system improvements, improved ramp lighting, fencing, and security improvements.
The asphalt and Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements that provide access from leaseholds and perimeter roads to Taxiways E and F are also deteriorated, requiring substantial emergency repairs. Portions of the PCC pavement in these areas were placed in the 1930s and 1940s and are in need of substantial work in order to improve the surface condition and extend the life of the pavement. The work for the Rehabilitation of the Access to Taxiways E and F portion of the overall project will include asphalt pavement reconstruction, resealing joints in PCC pavements, reconstruction of portions of PCC pavement, pavement markings, and infield grading.
