What was at stake.
Paving could not happen below a set temperature, and the season ended with the first frost. After the spring rain, the contractor's schedule showed the finish slipping past the season, which would have left a taxiway closed through winter.
What we did.
Beck Franklin's role: schedule recovery. We advise and measure; the contractor builds.
Paving path first
We rebuilt the remaining schedule around the paving path, the work that had to finish before frost.
Extended shifts
Recovery options with added shifts and a second paving crew were costed and compared.
Daily look-ahead
A daily look-ahead tied paving to weather forecasts and closure permits.
Weekly reporting
The airport received a weekly report on recovered days and remaining float.
What the team delivered.
The season was fixed. The recovery plan put every paving day where the weather allowed it.
Recovery scheduler, Beck Franklin
