This project consisted of the in-place reconstruction of Runway and 4-22 and parallel Taxiway A at Peter O Knight Airport on Davis Island in Tampa. Other work consisted of the placement of airfield drainage and the reconstruction of multiple small taxiways and hangar areas. Approximately 90,000 SY of fulldepth reclamation were constructed with 15,000 tons of P-401 asphalt. The project was phased to minimize impacts to the Airfield. Airfield electrical signage and airfield markings we also key elements of the Project.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS:

• $4.6 mil. project for Hillsborough County

Aviation Authority • 90,000 SY of Full Depth Reclamation • 15,000 tons of asphalt

SR 699 GULF BOULEVARD

Traffic control was a major element of the SR 699 project on Treasure Island, a popular student winter vacation destination. Ajax Paving successfully managed the heavy traffic as it milled and resurfaced, with slope corrections, Gulf Boulevard from 105th to 125th Avenue. Requirements also included new curbs, sidewalks, and signals.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

• 3,800 tons Structural SP • 2,500 tons Surface FC • 25 percent reclaimed asphalt pavement • Quality in Construction Award, National Asphalt Pavement Association

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

SR 82 CONTINUOUS FLOW INTERSECTION

$55 Million Dollar FDOT Contract

Reconstruct 5 Miles of one of the most dangerous roads in FL

Transform a 2 lane highway into 6 lanes

Create the first ever Continuous Flow Intersection (CFI) in the state.

Utilized Full GPS for the roadway construction, including subgrade, base, asphalt, and over 100,000 LF of curb and gutter placed without stakes.

80,000 Tons of asphalt

ROUTE 64

 The SR 64 Project had three sections calling for total reconstruction of the travel lanes totaling 12000’ lf x 24’. Plans called to mill off existing asphalt and base. Re-stabilize 12” add base group 12. Then pave 1.5 of SP 12.5 and FC 12.5 PG 76-22. Ajax did a VECP to reconstruct the 12000’ area with 4” of 19 mm asphalt 1.5” 12.5 and 1.5” of FC 12.5 asphalt. After presenting it to the VECP to the FDOT they were in agreement to move forward. That was the unique part of the project. We eliminated all the barrier wall temp striping and temporary signalization to perform the reconstruction and saved the state roughly $ 300,000.00.

The overall work performed is deserving of a Quality in Construction Award. This project produced a smooth, quality asphalt pavement that benefited state taxpayers and served area motorists well. Due to the high quality work of the Contractor, it produced a 1.01 Composite Pay Factor.
