Kenall provided end-to-end civil engineering design and project management for the extensive rehabilitation of runways, taxiways, and aprons at William P. Hobby Airport (HOU). The project primarily focused on pavement rehabilitation, encompassing tasks such as pavement design, concrete panel replacement, joint and crack sealing, asphalt patching, spalled concrete repairs, sealing concrete surfaces, and installing expansion joints. Additional work involved replacing light cans, updating signage, and adding pavement markings to ensure the surfaces met operational standards.

The scope extended beyond the initial plans. Significant expansions included relocating the Northwest Service Road to accommodate traffic and airport operations, deepening and lining a drainage swale adjacent to Taxiway “K” to enhance water management, and repaving the Taxicab Parking Lot. The project also addressed tenant transition pavement areas, performed upgrades around the Southwest Airlines air cargo building, and constructed a turnaround area for large fire trucks at the Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) facility.

Kenall’s holistic approach ensured that both the original tasks and additional requirements were managed efficiently, contributing to the airport’s operational sustainability and safety.
