2017 Quality Concrete Award Winner,
American Steel Fabrication/Concrete Council

Gonzalez was retained to perform construction management, supervision of the construction, resident engineering, inspection, and quality assurance for the reconstruction of Taxiway Echo at the City of St Louis’ Lambert International Airport.  Taxiway Echo is the midfield taxiway between the active, parallel Runways 12R-30L and 12L-30R at the east end of the airport.  The reconstruction included approximately 17,000 square yards of Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (18 and 24-inches thick) and associated excavation, asphalt shoulders, airfield lighting, storm water improvements, pavement underdrainage, signage, direct buried duct banks, final grading, and seeding. 

Throughout this project Gonzalez acted as an agent and extension of Assistant Airport Director for Engineering, responsible for all Federal Aviation Administration requirements associated with construction activities communicating directly with Airport Operations staff as needed.
