SKYLINE personnel led efforts to manage the environmental, geotechnical, and construction material testing for construction of the Hartsfield Jackson International Airport 5th Runway Construction. Initial work activities, of the approximately 600-acre site, addressed technical feasibility of the project. We participated in various tasks that made up the environmental impact statement (EIS) and the FAA environmental due diligence assessments (EDDAs).
Challenges to the development of this site included extensive real estate acquisition, permitting, floodplain and wetlands management, environmental contamination, air quality control, spill prevention and counter measure controls, storm water detention, and utility coordination. Prior to and during construction, extensive geotechnical subsurface investigations and materials testing had to be implemented.
Due to the scale of the project, 24 hour specialized testing and sampling had to be performed by the engineers. As members of the 5R Team, we oversaw construction, testing, and inspections of construction entry areas, plunge pools, detention facilities, thousands of feet of silt fence, 6 miles of runway embankment, MSE walls, culverts, tunnels, bridges, and roadways.
