Project Details
The I-40 project, managed by Crowder Constructors and executed by FSC Designation, spanned a total distance of 7.2 miles, covering both directions from Wade Avenue to the Bridge over US-1. The project commenced in November 2022 and reached completion in June 2024.
During this period, significant efforts were undertaken to widen the existing roadway and enhance its overall structure. The project scope included:
Widening: Utilized 800 tons of B25.0C and 200 tons of I19.0C.
Overlay: Applied 13,300 tons of S9.5C and 16,600 tons of S9.5D.
Ultra-Thin Bonded Wearing Course: Implemented 10,800 tons to ensure durability and longevity of the pavement.
This extensive work not only improved the road’s capacity but also enhanced safety and driving conditions for motorists. The project’s successful execution is a testament to FSC Designation’s proficient project management and the collaborative effort of their dedicated teams.
By improving a critical segment of I-40, this project supported regional development and contributed to the efficient transportation network, fostering economic growth and connectivity in the area. The enhancements made are expected to have lasting benefits for both local residents and commuters.

Project Details
The Greenville Downtown Airport (GMU) is the busiest general aviation airport in South Carolina and King Asphalt played a vital part in its infrastructure improvements. Its location in the heart of Greenville makes it a vital hub for the aviation community.
Due to its high traffic volume, GMU required rehabilitation to its Taxiways C & D. These areas had suffered from years of wear and tear, including deteriorated asphalt surfaces, safety concerns from flat areas holding water, inverted cross slopes, and fading paint markings. King Asphalt took on the challenge of revitalizing these taxiways, which were crucial for accommodating larger and heavier aircraft in the future.
The project was divided into three sections with five phases, including work within the Runway Safety Area (RSA). Temporary closure of one runway was necessary for construction activities. The project involved extensive milling, with nearly 35,000 square yards of asphalt removed. Over 7,000 tons of Surface B HMA (Hot Mix Asphalt) were applied. Some areas required 12″ Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) after proof roll testing.
Furthermore, the expansion of the West Ramp, home to the PF Flyers hangar, was part of the project scope. This phase included removing asphalt and base material, creating an inverted swell, and cut/fill on the ramp area. A minimum of six inches of Graded and Compacted Aggregate (Macadam) Base was applied before the Surface B overlay. The West Ramp expansion also included two new entrances/exits to and from the taxiway Delta. Subgrade removal was repurposed to fill areas for future airport expansion.
The project was completed during the day, ensuring attention to detail and delivering a high-quality product. Safety was paramount, as evidenced by zero recordable injuries and no lost days throughout the project.
