| Paragon's Role: |  As
Prime Consultant, Paragon coordinated an extensive Team effort to
overlay a 10,000-foot runway for the Port of Oakland in just five days.
This $10 million dollar project was completed ahead of the Port's original
10-day schedule. An existing taxiway was converted to serve as temporary
runway to avoid complete shutdown of operations while the overlay was being
placed. Approximately 104,000 tons of asphalt was overlaid as well as raising
or replacing over 650 center and edge lights. Our construction management
staff along with the contractor, and other key sub-consultants participated
in an extensive planning effort well in advance identifying all potential
conflicts and establishing back-up procedures. This project resulted in
significant time and cost savings to the client. |
